•  Info Nile crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) during the golden hour, Chobe National Park, Botswana. All by me, Poco² 21:09, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
•  Support -- Poco² 21:09, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
•  Support There's an evil-looking creature. Understandably a tiny bit noisy at ISO 640 but probably the best that's realistically possible. Cmao20 (talk) 22:15, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
•  Comment - I would recommend cropping out some of the unsharp foreground, as much as reasonably possible. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:45, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
•  Support A crop may be better, but FP anyway. --Yann (talk) 04:27, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
•  Support -- 🇪A〒ℂ🇭A  💬 06:39, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
•  Support Very cool. --Podzemnik (talk) 07:15, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
•  Support --El Grafo (talk) 07:52, 7 May 2019 (UTC) (FWIW, I don't think a tighter crop would improve this.)
•  Support I am not sure about the crop. If you crop the foreground, you also should crop on top to keep the image balanced, but this might leed to an inappropriate "panoramic" view" --Uoaei1 (talk) 07:58, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

• Personally I don't mind the blurry foreground either, I think the crop as it is at the moment is pretty good. Cmao20 (talk) 08:33, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

•  Support Cool. (I would not crop the foreground.) --Aristeas (talk) 09:32, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
•  Support Great light and I like how the crocodile perfectly follows the shape of the hill. The crop is OK. – Lucas 11:10, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
•  Support --Palauenc05 (talk) 20:58, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
•  Support good composition and lighting. Crop OK. Charles (talk) 23:06, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
•  Support Because it is a Nile crocodile :) --BoothSift 01:25, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
•  Support --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 09:13, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
•  Support Noisy, but maybe you couldn't have gotten the shot any other way. Love the mood, and the sort-of split toning created by the blue sky reflecting on the crocodile's dark back. Daniel Case (talk) 05:40, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

  Daniel: taking this shot was indeed tricky as we were in a ship, and it was on the move. That's why I had to go up with ISO and the late afternoon help didn't help either. The situation here has for example nothing to do with a zoo. --Poco² 16:59, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

•  Comment - I've gotta admit, I don't get the overwhelming support for this one. To me, it doesn't feel like an FP. However, I see no reason to stick my neck out in front of the oncoming train. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:09, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
