[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Nile Crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) is one of the four species of the kate crocodiles found in Africa, and the second largest species of crocodile. Nile crocodiles can be found throughout most of Africa south of the Sahara, and on the island of Madagascar. The Nile crocodile can, and sometimes will, easily snatch and devour a human. While it is no longer threatened with extinction as a species, the population in many countries is in danger of vanishing.

Hi Annick,

They look so cute and harmless and seem to smile in sunshine. Very good composition, sharp details and good natural colours.

Thanks for sharing.

I like how you always frame your subjects using impeccable application of solid visual design principles.

Annick,
I almost missed the croc in the FG, not due to any flaw in the shot;),but due to the excellent illumination and focus on the croc behind!
A collectors' shot!Very different POV!
Thank you!
Cheers!

Hi Annick,
very cool shot, like the mix of sand and water as a setting and your POV and composition are great...good notes too - hope you kept your distance!

Hello Annick, I really like the way you composed the shot in this wide format, and I like the way the diagonal is used in this composition for the shoreline. The crocs are very sharp and a good contrasty light showing nice detail. tfs rgds Necip

A fine capture of this basking Nile Croc pair Annick, the detail of their skin sculpturings is perfect. TFS my friend.
Cheers,

Prima plaat.

Hi Annick,
I had a picture of a Crocodile that I had been planning to post but now I have decided that I better not. The one you have here is a very beautiful shot of the crocs basking in the sun light. The exposure and the colors are beautiful and the blue water with the sharp ripples on them is a compliment to the composition. Very fine details captured.

Great shot!!

Hello Annick,
As I remember, the largest crocodyle species is Crocodylus porosus of salt and brackish waters. But this must be the most famous species all over the world. You capture them with a great shot. Nicely composed. POV, lighting, frame and focus also great. Thanks for sharing. best wishes

Hi Annick.
Very natural high end quality shot. I feel my presence there. Superb, razor sharpness of details. I am impressed with excellent lights and vividness of colours. Cropping is perfect and very impressive. Well done and kind regards.
