Rare and wonderful image. Fine details. Round-shaped body, oval ears and colour look so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Brilliant. One doesn't often see images of this animal. Full frame?

What a cute l'ill fella. Is the focus locked on the stone in front or is my monitor playing up on me ? Loved the composition and the direct eye contact . . . . almost posing for you.

Thanks for sharing

Lovely image Sucheth. Nice that you could spot the frisky fellow. Rocks look nice as well depicting the habitat. Thanks for sharing.

Nice image. This image rekindles lot of memories of me lying on the rock trying to shoot in slide film with a 300mm lens. These little cute fellows also serve as food of the snow leopard. In such hostile climate, even a tiny morsel can provide you energy till a large meal comes your way. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
