Is that one of the many Australian animals that will kill you in a second floating just below the surface on the lower left or just a stick? Nice artsy shot for sure.

LOL, no, it's a stick. Way too cold down here for a crocodile!

I was going to clone it out originally but changed my mind because I think it breaks the composition up a bit and adds a bit of interest.

Here is something I photographed the next day that will kill you pretty quickly if you don't have access to anti-venom. A Tiger Snake - the 4th most venomous snake on earth.

Yikes! 36mm, and why are you that close??? I would have used 360mm.

Yeah but it is an Aussie stick so there is at least a 10% that some part of it contains a poison or has some other crazy feature that can kill you. A list of the deadliest trees has at least 5 of the 14 as being in Australia.

Deadly trees, I only thought we had to worry about the freak'en animals. I was a state trooper for 27 years, it was a lot easier only having to worry about deadly people, now you tell me there are snakes, crocs, AND deadly trees, WTF.

 

[Richard A]

I don't know about any deadly trees. Around where I live the deadliest things are: Redback spiders (no one has died from a bite for many years since an anti venom was available but the ones here are much larger than I have seen anywhere else); Eastern Brown snakes - the second most venomous snake (these are around but you rarely see them however people still die from these); Blue Ringed octopus - never ever pick one of these up; sharks! I'm not sure how long it's been since a fatal shark attack in South Australia but there have been a lot of attacks in NSW recently. A young lad who was attacked actually in Sydney Harbour recently died in hospital just the other day.

Of course there are other dangerous critters up north in the deserts and tropics too.
