There is something nasty about that reptilian eye - not just the proximity of those teeth either! Glad to see you were quite a way away from it!!

Eek, what a great photo. Is that you I can see in its eye?

@Helen: Hi Helen, I think is just a reflect of the light in the croco's eye. I was about 2 meters with my teleobjective.
Wonderful capture Martine! wonderful detail an texture!

@Behrooz: I was in a canoe about 2 meters and I use a teleobjective (300mm). Just after I took the picture, the croco goes in the water!
Nice close up, his eye is so cool, you were lucky, great timing!

C'est ce qu'on appelle avoir les dents longues !! Elles sont bien acérées !! Bon cadrage.
