Swimming Jaguar

Gallery: WildlifePosted December 4, 2015137 views12 comments

Here's another shot from the Pantanal in Brazil, I'm not sure if this Jaguar was swimming to cool down or if he was hunting at this point, I think they are the most aquatic of the big cats.

If he is hunting, and I were you, I would have been concerned that I might be his prey. The stare is hypnotic. Nice image. I like it a lot.

Nate,

very nice and I like the choise of cropping since it emphasizes the pose of the jaguar. Also the stare is adding a lot of interest to the image.

No matter the reason, he certainly looks comfortable in the water! I like this shot and I think the panoramic crop works very well due to his low and long profile. Very nice, Nate!

Very cool image, nicely executed!
If this was mine, I would reduce the saturation of greens.

Nate: you were afforded the opportunity to make a unique and excellent capture and you certainly did. I like the techs, the fact that the cat is in the water and the low pov. Congrats! Richard
