American Crocodile

 * Reason:I think this picture is different in the sense that it shows the croc and how it blends in its environment as opposed to full body shots, that while valuable, this one shows the croc in predatory mode
 * Proposed caption:This picture was taken in its natural habitat, in a manglar at La Manzanilla, Jalisco, Mexico. When in the water, the texture of the skin and the reflexions serve as camouflage for this reptile, moving silently through the waters.

 * Oppose, somewhat blurry, blown reflections in the water (middle of the right hand side in particular), not great composition. Not the best way of showing camouflage of the croc - it's too close-up for that. Witty Lama 13:04, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose blurry and not the best composition. H92110 18:05, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose, does look blurry indeed. -- Jack 09:27, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
