I'm 22 year old student Human Movement Sciences from the Netherlands. What started as a passion for travelling, turned in a passion for photography, now a bit more than 3 years ago.
In my photos I'm trying to capture the beauty of the world in colour and shapes. Either travelling the world or just at home, my camera is always only an arm-length away!

Turn this picture on its side and I see an alien. But then again, there a lot of things in this wonder-world, that are alien without belonging to another place. Delightful.

Wow! What a great picture. Well done!
Anurag

Hi,
Nice shot! In which zoo was this photo taken?
Howard
The ancient and efficient predator, hungry again and watchful. You bring us up close and personal. Imagine that the Seminole indians wrestled creatures such as these!
ziggy
Breath-taking. I agree with Malta Photography.

Great work, Laura. Loved your website. Caimans in the Netherlands? On another topic, I have no idea what Human Movement Sciences involves (dance, music, anatomy, engineering, all of the above??) but it sounds fascinating.

This is a GREAT picture. It reminds me of the day that I was baptized in a lake in South GA…there was a crock across the lake and he watched in wonder an amazement an me an like 8 other people were baptized…he never moved just watched intently…it was so AWESOME! Thanks for the pic!

I love the reflective image, gives a whole new picture, (as observed by others as well).
Katherine Lee Strassburg
Great image–I especially like the colors. I also see the alien and wonder whether the caiman sees the alien in us………..
Pauline Jones
I love it; there is great expression in the eye.
Mandy Kilpatrick
I love the absolute stillness of the water and the watchfulness of the eye. The colrs are interesting, and so is the mirror image in the water. A very Interesting photo of nature!
Gabriel Gadfly
Great shot. I love the color of that eye.

WHOA! on top of all that has already been said, regarding photography, etc., as a viewer, you have managed to capture the feeling that he is looking not at a photographer, but as you said, looking at YOU! many thanks…

A killer stalking…and very clever as to not cause any ripples. So you have a clear reflection. Excellent catch and I am very glad you are at a safe distance.
mike
They have such big eyes.
