This view does a good job of capturing the intensity of a predator stalking, Ken. The larger view looks great, with the subtle reflection in the river and excellent clarity in the Jaguar.

Great action, Ken. No real nits, but you might try a crop from top (and proportional sides) to move the jaguar higher in the overall frame, which would enhance the impact by giving a more looming presense.

Beautiful image captured in nice light. Agree that cropping to raise the cat in the frame would have more impact.
