Taken at Melbourne Zoo today (13th March).
1/640s f/5.6 at 235.0mm iso400
This is not the easiest enclosure to take photos in - very long tall grass, an elusive, shy cat, tree trunks in front and wire that attracts glare of the sun. But I was determined and visited the enclosure a few times today waiting for him to come out. At last he did, and I wanted a portrait that showed his beautiful face and intense eyes.
