I took this image of a paca (Cuniculus paca, a large nocturnal forest rodent) in a cloud forest in Costa Rica. Knowing where some individuals were feeding, I set out multiple flashes to provide for interesting lighting and laid down on the ground to get an eye level view. I wanted an image that would look moonlit and that would add a bit of intrigue to this big rodent as it foraged for seeds and fruit. I scattered a bit of food in certain areas to allow for better predictability.
