This is a "semi captive" Jaguar. It lives in captivity but is often taken outside to explore the cerrado ecossystem on its own, as in this picture. It's a cat that belongs to a conservation ngo in Central Brazil, its mother was killed by poachers and the baby was delivered to be raised there.

I love this, but the angle of view makes the light too bright in my eyes to appreciate the image content as a whole. If the sun was just a little bit lower down behind the jaguar, it would be perfect for my taste Octavio and give really nice rim lighting behind your subject. Just my two cents worth.

I love the rimlight on the jaguar and the glow in the grasses. When viewed against the dark background this really pops. I appreciate the different point of view!
