Jaguars

Hi Folks,

Some of you may remember some of my previous Jaguar posts. Just had a fantastic experience with these two Jaguars in Brazil's Pantanal region in the last week. Full courtship on view for over forty minutes, just wonderful. This is a digiscoped shot using a Fuji F30 and Swarovski ats65hd spotting scope

Mark,

this is a fantastic documentation, and probably very seldom oportunity. That already makes the image special. As for the presenation I would have cropped a bit more tight, i.e. from the bottom, about 10%.

Many thanks for all the wonderful comments folks, they are greatly appreciated. I hope that next years tours enjoy a similar experience though I can't help feeling that the bar has now been raised a little too high!
