Hi Freddie,
Good to see you here on TN.
This is such an awesome shot of a crocs eye. You got so close and there is so much detail and colour. Nicely composed and perfectly exposed macro.
A real cool picture!
Very well done.
Cheers,
Steve

Hi Freddie,
Looks like its crocodile eye day today. Yours is almost next to another. Its great to see you on TN. I am sur you will figure out that the community here is much more friendly and more focused on nature and photography.
You did capture a wonderful detailed photo with good lighting. The photo could use a bit more contrast, so that there is less of a digital haze.
TFS and ofcourse a late welcome to TN.

Hi Fred and welcome!
Suntoucher mentioned your post in his comment on my today's gator eye. Cool that we have a comparison between Gator and Croc on the same day! Well done shot with good detail! Bravo!
