Crocodile on the bank of a river near Cairns, QLD, Australia
Apparently having his mouth open was crocodilian for "If you don't leave, I won't be lying here looking stupid for much longer!"

Nicolasdec - No one has posted for a couple of days and it is 12/26 (or 27). When are you closing this and judging?

pdxflint -- We changed the time frame for judging to 24 hours (from 48). If Nicolasdec doesn't show up in the next few hours it looks like you get the honors.

3rd - SmileItIsTravis, Love the shoot, it looks like the cat is ready to attack. The picture also looks like that picture of the fox jumping the gate.

Now second and first was a very close call....

2nd - zeeflyboy, Love the shoot, the tiger looks very angry, and you can see the anger in his eyes.

1st - PeteB, Pete what a lovely picture, Its hard to tell if the leopard is angry or sleepy. I love that its in B&W, and the huge whiskers are really cool. Well done, It also very nice that she/he is looking at the camera.

 

[zeeflyboy]

Thanks Nicolasdec, and congrats to PeteB!


Dale - Love that landscape shot, really surreal look to it - was that done on film?

pdxflint - love the guys face at the front, he looks terrified and it really makes one wonder what he can see out of frame to the left, great shot.

 

[needlnerdz]

congrats folks!

zeefly that's a great shot + sharp as a tack! What sorta lens was this and how far were you? I'm guessing some sorta 200+ zoom from just through the cage?

Nice job of even handed judging of a set of wonderful photos. I was a little concerned that the topic would fly, but the creativity of the MR photographers rose to the occasion.

No offense, but the tiger is a lion...

Thanks Nicolasdec, and congrats to PeteB!

Thanks for the comment. It's shot with my XSi. I tweaked the white point in post to pull out the greens and browns. It was a dull day at the mountain.

A deserved winner - Well done PeteB - quality shines through in the end.

It was a difficult week to win with so many great shots to chose from.

Although I do now wish I'd entered a Feline pic, as they obviously are what Nicolasdec considers dangerous
1st, 2nd and 3rd - all cats

Having said that - its better to be scared of cats than small horses that frighten a friend of mine .
