    Default The Croc with a Sly Smile ;)

    "Oh Grand Ma, What big Teeth you have....

    The better to eat you with!!!! Arrrr!!!!"

    I was shooting this Mugger aka Marsh Crocodile (Crocodylus palustris) at Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary in India when it suddenly turned to scratch to ease itself of an itch. I clicked. Somehow seemed like it was giving a dirty look to someone. :)

    This is full frame. So you can imagine how close this chap was. I had to reduce quality to 58% in Lightroom to fit in 200kb (197kb).


    Canon EOS 1000D, Canon EF 300mm f/4L IS USM
    SS 1/1000
    f/8
    ISO 400

    Another great "moment" shot, I think he is winking at you.:)

    I really cannot remember seeing a shot of a "croc" showing its teeth like this

    Great angle! and very unusual. I'm tempted to crop some of the top and left side of the image and concentrate on the unusual pose.
