Thanks for the comments. Shooting from a motor launch has got its own challenges like vibration as well as positioning yourself. You can't also move in the launch for reasons of your safety ie. you can trip and fall. And also if you move in the launch then the animal gets disturbed.

In this case, we were moving closer and I was clicking whenever I was liking the composition. There is a closer one of the same jungle cat which I will post soon. However, in this image you can see the water and that tells a story in itself. The next image that I am going to post doesn't have water in it, as we had moved in closer by that time.

Earlier I had posted a vertical close up shot. That was of another cat which was much darker and was the last shot of our trip.
Cheers,
