Scary indeed.
You did well to get the photo whilst making a hasty retreat.
The crocodile definitely looks like it is on a mission as it takes off into the water.
Nice one, well done!

A great wildlife shot. I like the composition/cropping with the crock in the upper right. The water is good and I like the reflection. A beautiful subdued tonal palette.

Very good nature shot.
Excellent composition with the water, the crocodile and the barren beach.
Very nice lighting.
Nice complimentary colors.
The story is simple, wait for me...I'll be right there and we can have lunch together.
The crocodile is not making any waves in the still water. Very eerie.

I guess the crocodile thought you were a nice snack,but I guess you escaped in time. Nice shot, especial from a moving boat. The reflection is especial intriguing because it assembles to a triangle with the crocodile.

Comment from SandraInSpain
What a stunning capture - I wouldn't have hung around either, so very brave to get that shot. I love the foreground, which adds interest and depth to the photo, and makes up for the lack of colour available.

A great action shot as this gator slides back into the water, trying to be sly, watching and hoping someone on the boat well end up in the water, very good reflection, nice details and depth,a pleasure, thank you for sharing, dale

Shy? Nah I know he is looking for a snack. Good thing y'all boogie..lol. the clarity is great. The angle of the shot of this crock is great. The capture of the light is great. The image is balance and eye interesting to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall

Looks like it needs to be petted and hugged! Any volunteers??:) Good observation. Good shot! The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

Fred,
A beautiful stop action picture of the Crocodile heading into the river with possible thoughts of feasting on you & the others, in your boat? Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Comment from nikman
Quite a striking nature shot posted here! Your composition, I am assuming was made in haste, captures the croc in a journalistic way. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely done!
