What a beautiful cat, and perfectly-captured! Those eyes are just mesmerizing, and the paw position is perfect. Not the smallest nit from me - an exceptional image.

Good thing you had a nice telephoto lens to work with Sandipan. That look is intense and I would not want to be any closer than you were. Hope you were in a strong vehicle at the time. Great specs on this and nice setting. Good work.

@Ed_Williams Hi Ed, Thanks for stopping by and providing the feedback. I had the 70-200 mm with me, but this was a perfect moment to take a portrait, so decided to work with 500mm.
