This is a wild Ocelot photographed in the Pantanal. It's not camera trap, I was at a distance in the forest, firing the camera remotely, with a Pocket Wizard. There are two off camera flashes as well. This was at 24mm, with the Ocelot just a few inches from the lens.

What a beautiful ocelot and image!  I like how you isolated the head of the cat against the dark background. Excellent work, Octavio!

What a wonderful point of view. Excellent work on the flashes giving just enough light to accentuate the cat.
