Nice to see a pic from Saktiji!Nice image of a jungle cat.I think the conditions were difficult to get the focus right.But the pic has come out well.

Beautiful habitat composition. Saktida has captured the captivating green eyes nicely through the two trees in the front. Agree with Sankarji, it was difficult to focus from the moving launch, with the vegetation blocking it and it so nicely camouflaged in it. Great capture. Thanks for sharing.

This was a very tough scene. I was the last to sight this. By the time dada and Mrudul were already shooting it. Finally I had got few vertical shots of the jungle cat through the gap between the two trees. The colouration of the species easily merges with the habitat. This shot shows the species with the habitat well. One can see how the jungle cat remains hidden behind the mangrove roots and vegetation. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi
