Jaguar Chester zoo high ISO shot

[LCPete]

Had a very cold and wet day at the Zoo
The Jaguar made my day and crouched down and looked straight at me
Unfortunately the light was really bad.
I had to use ISO 3200 the noise is not too bad but not completely happy with the colour I cant get it right I guess thats down to high ISO and bad light
uncropped 250 at 5.6 550D and 100-400L

I added a warm filter, shapended it slightly if you dont like I'll get rid.

If you don't mind me jumping in here, I have a picture of this very same beautiful creature from last year that I thought I'd share.

They're so wonderfully photogenic. He was targeting someone else in my shot -
