What is most interesting to me about this shot is the beautiful natural habitat that you have captured as a BG for your capybara. Wow!
Very nice composition.
TFS. : )

Hello Herve!
This capybara looks for me like a philosoph! ;> Just sitting on the bank of the river, and thinking about "some important things" ;>
This is really amazing composition with perfect POV!
Thanks for showing this funny photo and best greetings from Poland,
Radomir

Hi Herve,
Welcome...
Good first picture.
It generates a lot of depth. Animal is well placed in the compo...
A bit puzzled about the sharpness though...not that your image is unsharp or so...

Hola Herve,
Te quedó espectacular, me gusta como ubicaste al capibara a un costado y como muestras el panorama de la sabana inundada. Una buena foto.
saludos
