Sony A1 600mm f4 1/2500s ISO 12800 (auto) Taken in Madikwe Game Reserve, South Africa
This hyena cub was standing behind some dead brush, with a small opening allowing the camera's eye autofocus to just focus on the eye. The photo was taken in the early morning on an overcast day, hence the high ISO, which necessitated the use of Topaz Denoise in the editing process. Slight crop and small adjustments to exposure, clarity and vibrance were the only other edits.
