Very unusual and appealing picture. First time a crocodile (or thereabouts :)) hasn't looked downright ugly :D Seriously, though, great timing and great composition. Very well seen too!

Really great poster-shot. Nice dof & natural framing in the foreground with the grass. The green floaty stuff goes nicely with the natural frame, and is almost a total frame itself, pulls everything together, and gives a soft feel around the subject. The 'pose' is awesome! [10]

great pic although the foreground grass spoils the focus of the shot in my opinion

Love the effect of the eyes coming up through the duckgrass. Down right creepy. Subpurb exposure and composition.

I like this alot. I wish it were a larger image. He seems just slightly out of focus. The placement in the shot and the variation in color is nicely done. 7
