Keep your words soft and sweet; you never know when you will have to eat them.

@Lorraine: Thanks Lorraine! Glad you like it .;)
WOW! Looks scary!
That turtle is brave, going so close to the alligator's teeth with its poor little head.

@eddy: Thanks Eddy!
That is amazing, did the turtle survive?

@Mike: I think so! Taken this photo at a little zoo close to home. Looks like they have been friends for a long time!
The little turtle looks comfortable with his big buddy, even manages a smile for your camera. Not sure about the croc though he looks like he's checking him out. A great moment captured here Ina.

Why does this shot invoke in me parallels to the election results in Zimbabwe? A marvelous shot, great timing, composition and execution.

Extraordinary capture Ina. The details are amazing!

Maybe the turtle knows something like "The dangerous weapons are not always the ones you see."

Looks like they are mugging it up for the camera. Good Job Ina. Another fun one.

Interesting partnership. Great capture, love this shot.

What a unique image . . you have a knack of making us wonder what might happen next . . but I see your note about friends!

Ha ha great capture! I am also suspicious, I feel wary for that turtle!

Creepy situation to look at! What would be the situation directly after the shot has been taken? I hope the crocodile has eaten enough to leave his little friend in peace, but you can't trust them. Good suspension shot, Ina!

Nice reptile-tale! ;) Brilliant composition!
