    Yikes. Very creepy and frightening. Great reflections. I like the three angles.

    Thanks Mike, Marko. These were taken at Reptillia, just north of Toronto near Canada's Wonderland.

    Which one of these do you you prefer? I may enter one of these in our camera clubs nature challenge. I like the the second one better for the angle, but I would have preferred a little more DOF to get the nose more in focus. Therefore I'm leaning towards the first one.

    Great set. I love the low angle. I think I prefer the second one. Do you mind me asking which lens you were using?
    I welcome all critique and comments on any of my photos

    Love all three. That low perspective works so well. Hard to pick a fav, but agree, #2 followed VERY closely by #3.
    Reality is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there!

    I like them all ... but I'd lean towards #1 myself as well

    Thank Runmonty, HBG MA. These were taken with a rented 24-105 L lens so you can guess then how close I was to him (pictures were not cropped). I would estimate no more that 2 meters.

    Through glass or a fence? I would hope so. Not sure if your gators are similarly as quick as our Crocs (bet they are) then they'll outrun a man over the first 30 metres.
