[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Not Mexico as mentioned in the location i added the wrong location. Chester Zoo England.

The Jaguar and the Leopard are often confused with one another in zoos. Their coloring and markings are so similar that it is difficult for people to distinguish them. The difference lies in the center of the Jaguars rosettes, because unlike the leopard, the Jaguar has spots inside of its rosettes! The Jag is also a much stockier animal than its cousin, with shorter legs and tail – giving it more of a pit bull type appearance.

Hi Mark.
A very natural composition taking him on the move, I like it. Sharpness where needed for impact, great. DOF shallow in the background making him walk out of the image, perfect.
Slight haze cast over the image. I'll do a photoshop on your levels and see if it helps.
Wonderful

Hi Mark

Unfortunately I have to agree with JeanMarie on this one. It reeks of zoo all over it, but your location indicates Mexico Jungle? A friendly word of advice, always make 100% sure you have identify the correct location before you finally do the posting because you will not be able to modify the country of origin later on. Further, I have to remind you of the following points in the TOS (Term of Service) "5. Photos of zoo animals should be noted as taken in a zoo, and accompanied by an explanatory note". & "6. Photos without an explanatory note may be removed with notice".

You had to be a quick mover to shoot this photo in the "Mexican jungle", because on the same day you shot a Tiger, an unidentified bear, and a Red Panda in Chester Zoo, England. The fact that you used a 200mm lens also tends to contradict the information on the posting.

I would "like to believe" that you accidentally marked it as taken in Mexico so please rectify the location and your notes. In case you don't know how to do it just follow these easy steps. Open the photo and to the left of it you will find a heading "Photo Options" then select "Edit" at the bottom of the list. Alternatively you can go to your "Intro" page and select "Manage" then scroll down to the photo and select "Edit" on the right hand side. Once you are inside "Edit" mode you can select or identify the correct location and/or update your notes as you would do when you initially post a photo. I hope this helps you.

Best regards
Loot
