I love this picture. Probably my favorite. I like the simplicity and the hard "cement" and the softness of it.

Janine, this has grown on me over the course of the week - I do wish the nose (snout?) was in focus, but given that this was taken in the dead of night, it is pretty impressive. Not voting.

This will (I hope) garner good votes. It's eerie and really portrays the wild and dangerous nature of the animal. Great reflection too. There are no visible signs of the hand of man (man made objects) so whether it's in a zoo or in the true wild is undetermined but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Quite a "heavy" post process and what appears to be Topaz Labs Simplify? The characteristic of which gives a smooth and wavelike effect on croc/gator skin. The eye colour has thrown me; it's normally very yellow. The dark background is well processed; smooth and black probably aided by either a considerable underexposure -2.0 EV or it's a late afternoon/early evening shot. A good all round solid believable wildlife entry that ticks all the boxes of WILD-life including the obligatory "eye look" has been captured. 8.
