Leopard, Savuti

Leopard, Savuti... Botswana

I am sitting in the Air France lounge on my way home after two fabulous weeks in Botswana. Photo opps included
7 leopards, 3 cheetah, many lions, wild dogs, countless elephants, and so much more.

Two of the leopard encounters were among my best ever. It is so hard to pick a favorite among the hundreds taken.

1D Mark IV, 500mm
Manual, 1/250 @ f/5.6, ISO 1600

See you where there is light, or at the computer

Gorgeous Chas, like the Zebra (?) rib cage nicely positioned just to add to the composition/story of the image. Was this near the channel, if so, was this Dumatau?

Lovely.

BTW Did you bump into Grant, although I know he is off this week guiding in other areas?

I love the vibrance here Chas - great composition and story too. Very much looking forward to see some more from your trip to Botswana! :Whoa!:

Hey Chas,
Sweet light and the kill adds to the overall image too! I finally came in yesterday so safe travels!

Expertly produced as usual and a strong composition in support … beautiful.

I like everything I see about this. Nice work!

The Leopard looks great but I really like how well he fits into the environment surrounding him.

Terrific image as usual Chas

Good look back pose Chas, and I like the overall colours in this. Good to see a hint of the carcass in the frame too. Well captured.

Lovely image, and the inclusion of the nice evironment and kill also helps, my only nit would be a little tight at the bottom, but still a fantastic image well captured:w3
