This Leopard was walking straight at me, and believe me, to watch him in real life is absolutely awesome.

Thank you for your visit

Hiya BEn

Absolutely beautiful, colour details,sharpness and framing all perfect.. just wish I could see him moving.. Trek Video.com here we come lol.

Wonderful image TFS regards Helen

wonderfull shot, nice photo

I can imagine Ben! It somehow feels strange. For us the realisation that this is the home of the animal and not like in the Zoo, yes awesome.
Of course (yes we expect it already) a very good capture.

Hi there!
What a magnificent animal. They are by far my favourite big cats!
You captured him(her?) well, with great colours and sharp details.
Well done and TFS!

This is a majestic animal Ben and impressive capture. I would be more than impressed by this presence. I have seen recently a documentary about those beautiful animals in South Africa and the way they were tagged for scientific purposes. This is a beautiful capture in action with excellent POV and exposure. Thanks,
Claudine

Hello Ben,

Beautifulyl captured Leopard in nature.
Nice and well composed. TFS

Beautiful shot, nice detail. Although the face and eye a little bit dull/out of focus, e.g. no catch in eye.

Good capture Ben,
Placement looks spatially balanced :-)
Well done. Best regards, Daniel

Another beautiful shot - sharp details and stunning colours, especially in the leopards coat. the pose you've caught really captures the sinuous power in this wonderful animal.
Thanks for sharing
