Another shot of this yearling Jaguar from the Pantanal in Brazil, I posted another image of him with his mother, this was taken just after that.

Nate, the more photos I see from the Pantanal, the more I can appreciate clear shots like this.  Once again the green vegetation provides a great complementary background color.

Hey Nate,

What a beautiful animal - and it looks to be in very good condition. I think both ends of the subject really add to the shot - that tail curl is interesting and the open mouth (which almost looks like a bit of a snarl) is a bit of an eye-grabber too.

Nicely done...

Cheers...

Brad

Great pose and composition.  A pano crop removing most of the bright spots of light in the top of the frame would also work.
