[Leica] Last of the Pantanal

[Douglas Barry]

Great images, Jayanand, you certainly saw an amazing amount of wildlife on 
the trip. I like Jumping Jacana 1 the best thanks to the composition, but 
the Heron shot is almost something out of a horror film, and the large rat 
like creatures would have my wife clawing her way screaming up the nearest 
tree :-)

PS I echo Philippe's demand for people shots from the trip too.
