 Shot in Darwin. These are what they call the Jumping Crocodiles on the Yellow River. There are 30 odd crocodiles along this river. They feed them from the boat and as you can see from the photo they can get pretty high out of the water.

Yikes! I had no clue they could jump that high... I'll bet that wasn't an easy shot to capture.

Dramatic photo & nice composition, though you might have cropped out the railing. If he/she were leaping forward or nearly out of the water, the title would be more believable. Still a fine shot.

Maybe that's what the ads for water wings are for. Nice action shot.
