I've been priveledged to know this leopard for almost all her life. She along with 13 or more other leopards frequent the Sabi Sand game reserve in South Africa. Frequently, all of them, as well as their unnamed cubs, may be seen within an area of no more than 3500 hectares within the space of a week or two.
Salayexe unfortunately lost two cubs in the past few days. 40D, 70-200 2.8 IS, f2.8, ISO 1000, 1/60, 4200 -4.
Stephen,
This is a lovely image. I like the sharpness and the alert gaze. Despite the tight crop, you have ensured that the elbow is not cutoff. I would have liked a bit more space at the bottom but like this image nevertheless. There is a pink colour cast in the image which can be removed easily. Sad to hear about the loss of cubs. Look forward to more images of this lovely lady.
