Hand held from boat!  The Sigma 500's stabilization is insanely good.

Such a distinctive pattern on the fish I had to look it up. I think its called a Cascudo. Nice find and well timed shot to get this action!

Great behavioural image. Nice light and color on the caiman which stands out nicely from the background.

I like the similar patterns and colors of the fish and caiman. Striking shot!

Great capture E.J.! Feel bad for such a distinctive looking fish, but, oh well, life goes on (for the Caiman anyway!).  8)
