[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This crocodile (or in Spanish- crocodilo)was on the sidewalk after a rain ! I'm not sure where he came from but I do know what he was looking for. (Posting the original in W/S).

Crocodiles are ambush hunters, waiting for fish or land animals to come close, then rushing out to attack. As cold-blooded predators, they are lethargic, therefore survive long periods without food, and rarely need to actively go hunting. Despite their slow appearance, crocodiles are top predators in their environment. While often confused with each other, alligators and crocodiles belong to two quite separate taxonomic families. As for appearance, one generally reliable rule is that alligators have U-shaped heads, while crocodiles' heads are V-shaped.

Hi Julie,

Very nice job of isolating the Croc and surrounding him with a black background. The choice of the frame is good with the white line then black. Did you get close to this Croc or did you have telephoto? Either way, very impressive!

TFS,

Darren

The original composition was excellent but your PP work made this a capture to be really enjoyed to its fullest!
Superb!
Great notes too -- though not a situation *I* would like to find myself in -- always good to have that camera handy :)

Hello Julie.
Wow, what a wildlife picture this is. Was he on your sidwalk? How dear he.! Did you kicked him out by your feet?
Good notes you wrote here, to me they looks all very dangerous the bigger they are the more dangerous. Have seen enormous ones in the Zoo at Singapore. Not my kind of friends.
Best wishes from Jan
