Harshad,
I think this is probably the first of this species that I am seeing here. Amazing work, this is a nocturnal species, afaik, and is extremely rare to get a sighting of.

Kudos,Bravo for your persistence and hard work.. Looks like your tour was very successful !

Cute little guy. You caught a nice pose with the alert ears and gaze along with the raised paw. You sure have captured a nice variety of subjects on your trip, what kind of aftershave are you wearing

Thanks Steve , I was definitely very lucky , BTW I don't shave while on field

[Ken Watkins]

Harshad,

This is your best yet simply because of the rarity value of a daylight sighting, very well captured

They are real beauties, I am deeply envious

[Hilary Hann]

Lovely to see an image of one of these trotting along and looking at the camera. Most of mine are of them lying down with eyes in shadow. I'd be very happy to have taken this.

[Robert Amoruso]

Well done Harshad for the reasons mentioned, a real beauty.

[Marc Mol]

Great opportunistic sighting Harshad, you certainly got it's attention.
We also had our share of some great daylight sightings in the Mara. I believe it's one of the best areas to see them at this time.

Good capture, yet to get a decent image of one these guys.

Lower POV would really send this OTT.

[Vivaldo Damilano]

A wonderful sighting, love the eye contact and raised foot. I like there big eyes and good to capture the glint in both eyes TFS

[Morkel Erasmus]

so rare to see one so nicely in the open in broad daylight - top marks for this Bhai!

perhaps slight rotation CW to get ears on the same plane?

[Todd Frost]

This is too good Harshad, you have had some great sightings and captured them well. Tilted head does not bother me at all, it looks natural...they don't always get square with the world . Techs spot on. Well done.

I agree with Morkel on CW rotation but otherwise just perfect. Very good eye contact.
