 This Ocelot kept sleeping in his "hammock" for a while. I waited for 20-25 minutes and luckily was able to take a couple shots when he briefly popped up his head.

Stunning detail, although I think the overly saturated nose color is distracting.

From all the information that I have read, that when taking photos of animals it is very importent to keep the eyes in focus. It looks like the nose is the most focused part of this photo. If the focus had been the eyes it would have gotten a higher score from me.
