Nice close-up. Large and aged. Red eye possibly due to minor external injury on left side of the face. Thanks for sharing. SaktiWild

He looks to have been in the wars with rivals to me.

Lovely. The red eye looks like that of a Shikra. :) This leopard seems to be a war veteran. Is this cropped? What time was it shot? exif details? Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Thanks Sir,
He was hurt. Its a 20% cropped image. Image was shot at 06.20PM from a moving vehicle. We were following the leopard very close (5-10 mtrs) for around 500 mtrs.
