I don't do nature shots but I got this while at the zoo with my class. I thought it looked rather nice. Thought I'd share.

Hmmmmm. I thought the water would have been boring otherwise. I guess that's why I'm not a nature photographer.

Wow, that crop really does it for me. Nice job! Evidently, this gator takes good care of it's teeth...or it uses Crest White Strips.;)

I think your orignal shot so works a lot better cropped as the eye provides you with a stronger focal point.

HAHAHAHA!!! I was just trying to show a 100% crop of the original as an example of how sharp that photo was.

What a joke. I didn't know it was possible to suck so bad that only your 100% crop examples are good.

I owe the detail to a 5D and a 70-200 2.8. The picture was taken at 2.8 and iso 400. A tribute to this camera lens combo and not to me at all apparently. My gear thanks you.
