Nice sighting. It is nicely hiding in the grass. Good that the eyes are visible in clear. The low angle looks nice. Thanks for sharing.

Nice image.Like the greens and the low angle. Including less of the FG and more of the tress behind the mongoose wud be good.

Looks nice and healthy. The body resembles a capybara and the face is that of a mongoose. Its is indeed a small world:). Thanks for sharing.

Murugan,
Capybara is a rodent. Dr George Schaller has written a nice account about it. Have to go home and read it again.

The light appears to be low. Else, a narrow aperture will work well.

Sabyasachi: I am aware its a rodent, just wanted to draw an analogy here :). Thanks.
