Comment from Ray Gordon
Fred fantastic capture here. The water is so blue and the crock is ready to slither into it. A beautiful habitat shot. I only see one, the other must have caught a hitch on an air boat. Thank you for sharing, great presentation. Ray

Fred,
A beautiful picture of this Crocodile lying in wait for it's next meal on the bank of this waterway on which the blue sky above is reflected. The Crocodile is framed by the rushes behind it. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

Comment from Maureen Woychyshyn
I really hope the tourist isn't me lol. The poison of his body indicates that he is ready to attack at any time. You really captured the emotion in this photo. Well done

Comment from Christine389
They're very good at camouflage are crocs and I can see how they can sneak up on unsuspecting prey - hopefully not tourists though! Good clear detail and very nice composition to this shot.

thanks so much again;
they like tourists: some are stupid enough to get very close to take a good picture;

Comment from nikman
Yes, waiting for you perhaps? Your eye catching composition grants us a good view of that hungry croc on the riverbank. Sharpness and exposure are good. Nicely taken!

I'm too old ; he prefers younger ones , I think.

Comment from soulfeeder
The title implies a lot of meaning. I wonder if the tourist were allowed to feed this crocs. Otherwise, the tourist should be extremely careful. I like how you've shown the habitat of this crocodile. Great retention of natural colors and sufficient negative space for your subject to move and breath.

the crocodiles find a lot of food: they don't need the help of tourists;

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan
Ha! Haa!! I think he should wait near the parliament building. He will get some big and fat meatballs! Interesting capture of a wild life as usual. Thanks for sharing!

Comment from Glena Jessee-King
How witty, mischievously witty! The water is a lovely blues, vivid and bright. The greenery is fairly pretty. The mean crocodile or alligator (I don't know the difference here, but do know that one is larger than the other.) awaits eagerly for sure.
