 This beautiful leopard stayed around just long enough to snap a few pics before he scurried down the tree and took off in the bushes. Leopards are very hard to spot, but this particular safari we spotted 3 of them in just 24 hours.

The back lighting was a challenge but with some work in Photoshop I think it has come out reasonably well.

I love the color and contrast here/ The crop is very unconventional, and (to my mind) disorienting in an unpleasant way. Still, kudos to you for taking a risk with this photo!

I get the feeling that this tree is just hanging out over the abyss and he's just out there taking in his world - really enjoy this shot!

What a beautiful big cat. The exposure is way over exposed though. :~(
