Ken,

I like the pose of the leopard which says a lot of its behaviour. Well done and I am curious what happened after this shot enlightened

You've captured a lot of tension in this photo, Ken. What really strikes me is how invisible the Leopard becomes in these surroundings. Every time I look at it I expect to see it's next step. Nice.

Nothing more exciting than a big cat stalking. Nice shot!
Grt, Ingrid.

Thanks for the comments, the Leopard was after a Francolin, he missed!

Definitely a slinkly little thing!  The panoramic crop fits the posture very nicely.  The large version is required viewing for this shot as it has a lot more presence and shows much more detail on the leopard.  A nice capture, Ken!
