Thanks for the previous comments & feedback.
Taking a leaf from Steve C's recent intro, I too thought it was about time I posted again.
The amount of Leopards we found was just simply amazing this trip, this was another female we tracker for about half an hour, as she scent marked and patrolled the area looking for traces of her mate. As she made a bid up along the ridge we move the jeep around still keeping an eye on her movements as she moved through the bush to a point where she could look out and was then, just above us.
A few of you have seen a much larger version of this, since then I have applied a slight Tonal contrast to the chest with a 30% Opacity mask, just to punch it a fraction more. One small branch removed in the BKG.
