## Caption

A mesmerizing partner for a staring contest 👀 Oliver Le Que, rhino_olie gives us some background on this close-up image: “The photo shows a very rare male Javan leopard Arjuna from Prague Zoo. Personally, I think that the best weapon of a photographer is patience, especially when photographing animals. Knowing how to predict the animal's behaviour is also a great help, I am lucky enough to work in one of the best zoos in the world and I can observe them every day, which makes my job easier. Looking into the eyes of the animals is always something magical and when you have great lighting conditions, I think you've pretty much won. Animal eye focus and stabilization are great helpers in these situations." | Sony Alpha 7 III | Sony FE 100-400mm f/5.6 G Master OSS @ 342 mm | | 1/250 sec. | ISO 1250 |
