The only theme for this set is randomness. Again, all from Pantanal. I'm hoping Greg (aka Plinian) post some more of his shots shortly but I will add a few of mine maybe to coax him out a bit more quickly. All these except if noted are shot from the boat.

1 Caiman

2 Armadillo (shot on terra firma)...this guy found the garbage pile on the farm we visited

3 Caracara chasing a yellow headed vulture..sorry but it was very high up and until I saw the series of shots didn't realize the caracara got the vulture to disgorge a fish.

4 Toucan in flight....HUGE crop..taken from the top of a very unstable viewing tower..the boat would have been easier!

7 Giant River Otter...cute? NOT!

8 Jaguar close up...not sure about the processing but I do love the eyes

9 Cormorant

10 Great Black Hawk

11 Probably my favorite shot of the whole trip...my daughter! She is wearing a shirt/head protection from biting insects...it wasn't really needed but I loved how she looked in it and we all promised to put it on just once to justify bringing it. We were coming back to the flotel at high speed so bouncing around a bit.

Super selection from what has to be one of the most under appreciated wildlife areas of the world. As much as I love vulture vomit I could do without seeing anymore Oh yes, I do have pictures of it I have to go with the armadillo as my pick, I love that shot!!!! Hmm, maybe I can drive to the Patanal

Awesome set with great photos from land, air, water, Eric. Love the picture of your daughter. Seem like she spots something interesting.

Beautiful set Eric. You should title it beauty and the beasts. Your daughter is stunning.

An excellent and varied set, Eric.
Some might say these could benefit from a bit more contrast (especially on the darker side of contrast).
I wouldn't say that, of course, or you might think I'm a contrast freak .
If you hadn't titled the armadillo shot- I'd probably not have guessed that it was. A unique and terrific view of the critter.

A varied and very nice set Eric. 1, 2, 6, and 8 stand out. 2 reminds me of Yoda. 8 might benefit from a run through levels to make it pop. Your daughter is a looker - even with the veil... ~ Ron

Whaddaya mean, Eric? My large rodents didn't quench your Pantanal thirst? Obviously, you're spending too much time thinking about big cats!

Seriously, these are a fantastic potpourri, and I now feel inspired to work through a few more of my several thousand raw images! I doubt that anything on my hard drive comes close to your jaguar or that lovely creature in your last shot, but I will try to post a caiman, giant river otter, and maybe even a toucan or two (probably the same one as yours!) in the next few days.

Lovely set Greg...er Eric. That last one is super. Your daughter takes a good picture, and you know the angles to ensure the result. I have to confess I like the Kilimanjaro portrait better, but this is, as I said, still a super result.

Great collection of shots Eric. The river otter looks like some the vulture might disgorge. When I see a toucan in flight they always look like something that shouldn't be able to fly. I like the Capybara shot as well. As far as your daughter...I think even the Jaguar was impressed.

Love the armadillo Eric, that's fabulous!

Great job on the jaguar and a very nice portrait of your daughter too. Super set!
