SHORT DESCRIPTION

  •  Comment LOL! Hundreds... from time to time I go over them, pick out a few and do a little bit of photoshop. I am planning to go back to the swamp (without wife and kids) soon to get the definite American Crocodyle shots. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 18:50, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Dear Lycaon, in simple math... ISO 1600 + 1/60 ss + f5.6 = low light conditions = noise, an expected effect, as grain was before digital, which does not negate the information value of the image. Any semi-competent photographer can figure that one out. Of course, in a warm lab with a dead animal better photographic conditions could be available. I prefer to leave the croc alive. Noisy? Noise camouflages quite well in this image. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 02:35, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment The intention of this image is to show the skin characteristics of the croc, this crop gives us a view of three different textures in the head area. To zoom in cuts information out, and to zoom out would include unwanted information in the image. Or how would you approach the crop? --Tomascastelazo (talk) 02:25, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
