Another shot from the Pantanal in Brazil, a South American Coatimundi backlit, we were photographing a tapir, I turned around and spotted this guy, I liked the rimlighting on the tail.

Never seen a coatimundi in the wilds and only one time at a zoo, so this is, for me, a special shot. I, too, like the rim lighting, but  also, that you were able to get detail in the shaded side of the coatimundi.

This is an excellent image of rarely seen critter, Nate.  I too really like the backlighting.

Agreeing that the rimlighting is the strong element!  Decent pose, too.
