22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
The Eyes of a Jaguar

The Eyes of a Jaguar I was fortunate enough to be able to finally visit the Pantanal to hopefully get photos of jaguars and other animals from the region. As we rode in our boat hoping to capture some good photos, we looked up and saw sitting quietly under the canopy of the jungle a large jaguar. His eyes seemed to stare straight through me as I slowly lifted my camera to capture this image of him. It was enthralling. Then suddenly he stood up and walked away from us as we all sat there quietly in awe.
