    hungry Leopard!

    Took this photo at dusk in the Masai Mara in Kenya. It was the only photo I took in 2 hours of watching him. The tree was so thick I could only see his face. Awesome experience, every photographer should try to do a safari in Africa.

    Honest feedback please.

    Great shot, an expectant expression, the eyes look sharp and the photo really sells the idea of the camoflage doing its job, and keeping him just hidden enough to surprise the unwary. I think the partially obscuring out of focus foreground helps in this respect. That is definitely the shot to bring out when you are telling people about your trip, nice one.

    Hi Babaji

    This was worth waiting for !
    Leopards are very difficult animals to capture .

    Hope to see more of your safari photos.
