Great timing. That is one impressive mouth! Maybe just a little more room on the right.

Danny,
Sharp image with good dof. The low angle makes a huge difference. The eye contact is a huge bonus. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Terrific action and very interesting to watch the inside of that huge mouth!!!

Thanks for sharing it!

Yawn or threat?? Great action captured, Danny. The low angle and tight comp makes you feel, well, too close! :) Maybe try some selective sharpening around the eye.

[Steve Canuel]

I like the vertical comp and the inclusion of the vegetation. Eye contact is a plus.

Great close up Danny, and you can clearly see that he has noticed you. Well timed and captured.
