Just like the tiger, the jaguar enjoys water.

This picture is simply amazing and beautiful. I lighting in the background defiantly gives the picture life, and attention. You got a brilliant shot of the animal, which defiantly gives viewers the up-close feel. People will surely be attracted to this picture not only for the animal, but for the beautiful work of photography you took. I'd say this picture was very amazing, I haven't seen anything as beautiful, majestic, and every other word for amazing... you did a very good job at showing that this cub really does love it's water! I'd say you did a very great job on this photo.
