Robert Wengritzky, Eye of the Hunter (NATURE WILDERNESS 2025)

The saltwater crocodile is a creature that has outlived empires, unchanged for millions of years. This close portrait focuses on its most piercing feature — the golden eye — an unblinking emblem of patience and power. Every scale and pattern etched across its skin tells a story of survival, but it is the eye that holds you: ancient, watchful, and utterly relentless.
