Ken,

a find this image to be very interesting, not only because of the jumping leopard, but also due to the background which adds a lot of habitat sense to the image.

Ken: well done capture of the leopard in its mid-air leap. Had the leopard not had the mongoose in its mouth it would have been a good shot. With the mongoose so clearly seen, it's even better. Richard

Amazing action shot! You were lucky (and probably very patient) for this one. Great image.

Great series of photos! Must have been exciting, except for the mongoose. Thanks for sharing.

Nice mid air capture. That leopard looks like it needs a bigger meal than that.

Thanks everybody for your kind comments, they are much appreciated.

Steve,
Leopards rarely kill anything big they are avid snackers.
