Wonderful shot.
Excellent initial impact. Looks like she is posing for sure. I like the clarity and focus.
Thanks for sharing.

He's ugly but he's well focused and the green background helps him to stand out. You did well with the cropping and have him well centered in the image. Nice job!

Poor Mara, to have this critter named after her! lol Has the look of a wild pig almost, at least a pig like face, eye, and nose. Amazing find Fred. I've seen Capybaras before but not this unusual looking rodent! Good shot of this and I hope Mara forgives you for posting her portrait on FAR. ha Beware, what goes around often comes back at you! haha Mara may get even!

This is a great shot of a very homely animal. There is noting endearing about this Mara. But they are amazing. I like this picture because I am able to see the weirdness of the Mara. Great work.

Why are you sorry? His name is as beautiful as mine and his face as ugly as yours, ha, ha! Lol, lol, are you sure not is a self portrait? OMG! Not, in serious, great shot, Fred! Lol. Well done.

Does not look like a happy camper here. Good close up, frame and exposure to show the face and front feet.
