Found another Ali which I like Do find difficult shooting these animals since they are not the most photogenic and do very little behavior wise !!!

Comments welcome and much appreciated

Really cool! I love how the water is in the sockets below the eyes. Nice DOF.

What's the tech data on this one Al?

Unique perspective Al--I really like this one. You're right--they usually look so static unless you catch the crocs pulling wildebeast in the river in Africa.

This is just terrific. Kind of like an abstract of wildlife on a macro level. Wish we had a few of these type of creatures lurking about our lakes ... would make things a little more interesting at times!

Ha! :lol: They probably wouldn't last more than a few days in the water up here. Lots of steam & fog coming off them now as things start to cool off rapidly.

Be fun to see what they would do to all the beavers around here though! Might need a lot faster camera autofocus for that type of action I suspect. 8)
