Nice and relaxed feel, and deep and pretty colours that suit the mighty and ancient predator.

Ok. On picture, its mouth seems quite elongated in comparison to other crocs...

I understand what you mean It's just the angle at which I shot the photo, plus the fact that I cropped off the end of the croc's nose, so it's a sort of optical illusion

Thanks for checking out my photo! Happy creating!

That is the most beautiful, sensual and majestic photo of an Orinoco crocodile, his stare is stunning and hypnotising at the same time, great shot

JamieWhitesNotebook [2013-05-19 09:24:19 +0000 UTC]

Wow, this looks insane It seems to give the Crocodilia a character, like any second he's going to speak to me ^_^ Strange how the shape of his face and the lines create an almost comical look of sneering.
If this was Dribble I'd be downloading the colour code right now XD

I think I hear a ticking of a clock... Hmmm, time to call Peter Pan, I think. "I do believe in faeries, I do, I do..." Is this a caiman? It has a long thin nose but his eyes look like a croc. Oi. I don't like crocs. They're mean. Understatement. Really nice picture. You can really feel the scales...then again I'd rather not.

I love your photography. You always manage to catch a unique typical-to-character atmosphere with every portrait. I also like how you stress that atmsphere with your mixture of clear and blurry spaces.

MonsterBrand In reply to JWiesner [2013-05-19 03:11:40 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much, your comment means a lot; as I have been trying to discover my niche or rather, my 'voice'/style in the medium of photography for awhile now and it seems to have crept up on me without me realizing it!

Thank you

JWiesner In reply to MonsterBrand [2013-05-19 09:05:24 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome! <3 Btw I forgot to mention I also love that sort of soft color glow which you have in your photos (not sure if it's your camera or Photoshop edits). That's how I recognize your style, too.

MonsterBrand In reply to JWiesner [2013-05-19 17:05:11 +0000 UTC]

aw, well thanks

I actually create all of those custom effects in photoshop, but sometimes I'm lucky enough to get really awesome lighting while shooting and then I just enhance that lighting a bit in Photoshop afterward
