Yes...this is a real croc. No crop. Very little editing. I apologise if the bottom jaw is not in focus...she wouldn't listen to my directions very well. Yes I was down on the ground a few meters from her while her male was even closer to me.

I personally like that the lower part of the mouth isnt fully in focus. I find that it brings in the focus to the main subject, which is its eyes, nose area and top teeth. There is no reason for it all to be in focus. Someone said something about the background being "Bland"...ummm, I think NOT. I love the background! The background is perfect for a shot like this. There is nothing to draw attention away. It all comes together very well. This shot looks like it should be in national geographic. You should submit it for the NG mag photo contest! I think this should have scored higher.
Sorry, I had to laugh hard when I looked at your picture. It popped up immediately after a very small baby lying on a parent's arm. And then you rhead shot of a croc with it's mouth open. Too funny.
great details and good colors. Good job in separating the croc from the background.
