•  Support In an ideal world I think the light and colours could have been more vivid, but I find it strongly mitigating that this photo is taken in the wild. Surely, one of your best croc photos. I like the simple composition. I enjoyed following the teeth in full resolution and how they nicely fit together. I also enjoyed noticing the small damages to some of the teeth and other imperfections from use in a harsh world. Well done! I would recommend geocoding it, adds value. --Slaunger (talk) 20:42, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

•  Comment Slaunger, thanks for your support and comments. Regarding colors, there were not many. There were two light conditions, the background was the mangrove and the top branches made it a dark area. The crocs go into the water as soon as they feel the boat approach (you can see one in the dark background, and I got this one just outside the tree cover, hence the dark background, for exposure was done for the near croc, we are talking about 3 stops difference. Otherwise the greens would have come out nicely. On the other hand, the crocs are basically b&w! So in short, two light conditions and a naturally occuring scene without colors. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 21:15, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Tomas, thanks for the explanation of the circumstances. I understand. --Slaunger (talk) 20:34, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
