Back to the wild

I took this image 8~10 years back on a 35mm negative film and a 17~24 or something sigma lens on a nikon body (N8008 body i think).

Pl don't mind the poor image quality. The original image (and photography skill at that time)is slightly underexposed. And poor scanning too.

The leopard had strayed in a housing colony nearby my present home near Sanjay Gandhi National park (SGNP)in Mumbai, India. Forest department officials trapped the leopard and later released it back to the wild in another part of the forest. I was sitting in a jeep nest to the truck. As soon as the forest guards lifted the cage doors i started shooting in the burst mode ( poor 1.5 fps i think ) i got 3 frames. 1st- no leopard, 2nd- current frame and 3rd- leopard vanished (just tail part of the leopard in the bush in front).
