I like the low angle and the crop.

Nice angle, good to see him completely in the open and mid-stride.

very nice. I like the included environment. might consider cropping a little higher with less of the empty foreground and more of the greenery, if possible.

Dear Octavio:

Terrific image! The reflection in the water of the jaguar is a nice touch too. If you were to
crop the photograph to show more greenery and less water, I wouldn't want to see you
lose the reflection.

Best regards,

Roman :-)

Sweet! Lovely pose and setting along the shoreline. The vegetation frames the cat well.

Great view! I love the way the dead wood mimics the shape of the Jaguar. Love this shot!
