crocodile au zoo de Pont-Scorff

This photo was taken from behind the window pane of the crocodile's

cage. The animal was at about two or three meters. With PhotoShop I

have enlarged its head in order to make a distortion like if it was

taken with a wide angle lens. Do you find it is succeed ? Thank you

to rate and comment.

Ver good !!

Creative and pleasant composition, I like a lot!!

I think it did work. Before I read your remarks, I thought it was a wide angle shot. Nice work with the framing too. Good job, Henri.

Great angle! Very original shot!

Henri, you succeeded in transforming a fierce creature in to a comical and cute character! Well done. ^_^

Wilson, if it is comical, then I have fail it. I wanted it looks ferocious and dangerous.

To be clear in my mind, there is the original shot. Perhaps it looks less comical on this one ?

And while I'm at it, here is a view from top of the same animals.

I'm so sorry, Henri! I didn't mean to offend at all. ^_^ Let me restate this; you are very successful in simulating a wide angle shot by use of PS. Very well done. Another successful element in helping this image appears more 3 dimensional is the way you have his head and claws overlapped the lower black frame. Cleverly done, Henri.

 

As for the crocodile, I'm afraid that he is just a really happy guy (even in the original photo you've so kindly posted.) Look at that smile on his face! He's probably very well fed and have lots of croc-mates around him to play with. One of the friendliest crocodile I've ever come across. Or may be this is Mona Lisa reincarnation? ^_^

beautiflly presented. excellent!

Hi wilson! I am not offended at all. You are right to find that the crocodile is comical. After all, it is possible, with its big head and a so small body. Perhaps a true wide angle will not produce the same effect. Anyway, it is sure that it was not terrifying... But I would'nt have liked to be in the cage.

Yeah, photo alone is good, no need to loose those fingers for the camera. ^_^

At first I thought this was a straight shot with a wide angle lens. But I thought, I know I wouldn?t get that close to that jaw just for a pic, and I?m not too sure how many other poeple would either. Then I saw your explanation photos. So you do have some sanity! And fingers left too.

Terrible celle la !

J'etais passe a cot頤it donc !

 

et en n&b, ca doit 괲e interessant !?
