Great photograph Bernz. Lovely reflection and great composition. It took a good eye to see that one.

Nice shot Bernz. I had to look twice thinking what kind of crocodile is that. Really nice composition.

Outstanding stuff, Bernz. You really got the reflections to come out beautifully, looks like a glass surface. The DOF work is great too. Well done.

Nice reflections! I like these kinda shots. I think if you did it before sunrise, long exposure, ISO 100 and something like f/16 it would be awesome.

Beautiful image! Great reflection, but what I like most about the photo is the reflection of the coral red next to the green moss. Just enough contrast and color to add a TON of interest!
