DESCRIPTION
This image was taken in 2016 in Mexico while snorkeling with the american saltwater crocodiles. Just after breathing the crocodile came down right infront of the lens with a little air bubble behind his front teeth. It may appears like an attack, but it was a very kind and trustful croc. There was no reason to be scared of this guy at the moment of the shot, which should show that even apex predators such as crocodiles, sharks etc are in generel no enemies of us as humans.
AUTHOR
I started photography by the age of 19 with a compact camera focussed on shark photography. Realizing that compact is not enough and saving all my money I switched four years later to an intermediate DSLR, Canon 7D, which I'm still using.
