A very cool image of the crocodile, Jagdeep, but I think it would have a lot more impact with a fairly tight crop. The face kind of gets lost in this image.

My first thought was that this perspective is pretty intimidating. I like seeing his entire “perch” and knowing just how easy it would be for him to navigate it. I also like your chosen DOF. I’ve been around alligators but have never seen a crocodile in the wild. Cool shot.
