Jaguar

I take quite a few pictures at the local zoo and need your advice on

the best way to deal with the fences in the background. Your advice

is greatly appreciated.

I saw the original photo you posted. This, uncropped version is better in my opinion. Photographing wild animals in captivity is not an easy task. Seldom there is a striking photo. My advice to you is to get as close to the fence as you can. When dealing with predators this can be risky. I think that the key element in a good wild-life photograph is to catch ANY expression on the animal's face. This jaguar seems to be submerged in melancholy. Maybe because there's a fence around it?
