Here's a shot from the Pantanal in Brazil, this was taken from our boat as the light was fading so I had to push the iso etc but I liked the setting.
Canon 5D3 500F4 1/640 F4, iso 3200, handheld

Nate, I like this photo for the mix of vegetation in the background, and the smooth water foreground, both working to present the main subject we. Larger version shows just a bit of noise, probably from the ISO setting. All in all, a great photo.

Nate,
Such a great image , nice to see one in the open.
Does it need a slight magenta reduction?

Hi Nate,

I have only seen one vicariously through its tracks left in the mud along a creek in Costa Rica. Other than the slight amount of noise, I like the comp and I'm glad you got this shot. A very cool animal indeed...........................Jim

Nate, lovely composition and setting. Some noise, but a great species well captured.

Fine low perspective and decent pose...super techs. Maybe a little less out of focus foreground water?
