First image I post. May be the framing needs correction, I should have included more water in the picture. What do you think?

Sorry, the picture deffinition is far better than this, but an image wuth this kind of detail is veri difficult to fit in 50k

I'd crop just behind big mama's butt. The focus is ont he right with junior looking off the frame. Getting the balance to that side is importnat. Nice image in a descritive sense. If I recall, these buggers don't hang around too long, no?

Good pose, bad scan. 50k is a pain to work with, but it's for the best.

Looks like you're getting some light falloff on the right side of the frame. Hope this is a product of the scan, otherwise you may have a shutter curtain problem.

These are actually called "Capybara" (hydrochaeris hydrochaeris).

In Argentina we call them Carpinchos, and in Brasil, Capibaras. May be in English you call them Capybaras, but the name comes from guarani language "capibara".
