Very good shots you have here. The second pic looks interesting. Almost like some kind of abstract shot.

 

[azone]

Thanks falcon and zhapchit.

Yup, I wished the sun wasn't so bright, as it imposed a glowing layer on the croc's skin. Or wished I had a polarizer.

Maybe it will reduce but not eliminate totally. Anyway, you can adjust the polarizer's polarizing effect before snapping oso.

Meaning it takes the center part as 80% and the rest as 20% and then average the exposure.

oh...something like spot metering lar....except tt spot metering does spilt the percentage of exposure but onli corrects the right exposure at the center of the image lor (or on the spot)

Yep It takes the exposure of the centre part of the pic.
