    Beautiful creature and well captured. That Better Beamer must really throw the light out there. Looks like you were right on top of this one by the lighting though you can tell otherwise by the DOF (plus you're still around to post the image :D ). Nice shot thumb.gif

    Absolutely amazing shot! I also had a look at your gallery, lots of great photos there too (love the leopard cubs)! Makes me want to go back to Africa and see if I can do better next time.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Wow, beautiful shot. Leopards are my favorite big cat. One day I hope to be lucky enough to see one in the wild.
