    Default Stalking zebra

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    5.42pm and a magnificent 3yr old male Leopard has spotted a small herd of Zebra.

    It would take him until 6.48pm before he was successful, his prize, a fat/pregnant female Hyrax, not quite the prized Zebra he wanted and would have to suffice until he got his wish 4 days later when he successfully took down a Zebra foal mid afternoon.

    Kogatende region, Nth Serengeti- TZ.

    The pose is great here. Espcially with that stare and the raised foot. I like the grass setting as well. Nice framing. Also like the sky with the faint clouds.

    A fine shot Marc, I like the presentation and low angle, nice timing with the raised foot. Colours look very realistic.

    Verry well composed image. The intent stare, the raised left paw and the right shoulder just tell the story of stalking its prey. The bg's colors are very pleasing, they just make the leppard stand out.

    Great shot as mentioned raised leg tells the story. Love the stalk. Maybe for me just a little more exposure. Just a personnel thing could go either way. Lovely as is with pattern and colors on the cat. TFS

    I hear you Kevin, but trying to replicate the light/mood to the level for the evening.
