Always fun to play with light and shadow when you can get the light to fall on the animal’s face and then expose for those highlights. This dwarf mongoose was running around in the bushes at our camp in the Masai Mara of Kenya, giving me plenty of time to find the best spot to take the shot. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 220, f/5.6 at 1/200th of a second.
Very contemplative demeanor with perfect lighting on his face. Very unusual photo of creatures that always seems to be moving, exploring with great curiosity. Beautiful, soft, tender, even.

Wow, that light is stunning! You really captured the perfect moment.
Would be much better with an adult mongoose in the frame for size comparison. 7/10
It’s in deep thought. “The Thinker” – Auguste Rodin.
Lovely light on that sweet face!
