a leopard in Kruger National Park Photo

Photographer’s Note

I think that is more difficult to capture animals with a camera than to kill them with a rifle! And I can't understand how one may be so hearthless to kill such a lovely animal and perhaps to wear it as a fur coat.
Anyway, I am very proud of this shot: it is very diffiuclt to see a leopard in the Krger National Park, and much more difficult to photograph him walking on the ground. I cropped the picture as much as I could, and I saturated yellow color.

Good capture. The only problem is from the technical point of view. It is overexposed and something strange is going on with your sharpness. But anywyas, you were lucky to get that close and lucky to be able to take picture of this beautiful animals.
Lucky, lucky you, Livia !
