Costa Rica is a nature photographer's paradise. One day while taking a break from bird photography we took a river boat trip in a modern motorized dugout boat. We saw many crocodiles along the shore and sometimes approached them to within 25-30 feet. This is one of my favorite images of the trip. 7D2 with 100-400 and 1.4 TC. Image is not cropped from original. Standard LR and PS processing.

Amazing isn't it that something that is always 'smiling' can be so menacing! Nicely done Ed.

Very nice capture, I like the diagonal lines and the mouth open showing off the menacing teeth. Well done.
