    Default Termite mound lounge

    6.05 pm and a young sub adult male leopard spies a small herd of Reedbuck in the distance and dreams of future conquests.

    A rare treat indeed as it's not often you'll find a lounging leopard so comfortable on a open termite mound.

    This is exactly 'my type of image' ! I love everything about it. I dream of taking images like this. Expertly exposed against that bright bg. I suppose the white sky bg is not the best however you cant have it all

    Super composition and I like the eye contact.
    I have some reservations over colour temp - the leopard looks very yellow (??) perhaps this was due to the time of day.

    The warm tone of the leopard and mound are indicative of the 6.05pm early evening sunset glow John.
