  1. I'm stunned. This is another one for the homepage. The incredible sharpness of the amazing subject, where the unsharp leaves only add to the suspension.

    Oh, and of course added to the Big Cats list:

The jaguar is a big cat, a feline in the "Panthera" genus, and is the only "Panthera" species found in the Americas. The jaguar is the third-largest feline after the tiger and the lion, and the largest in the Western Hemisphere. The jaguar's present range extends from Southern United States and Mexico across much of Central America and south to Paraguay and northern Argentina.
