Afternoon Yawn

[Stu Bowie]

This is out my archives, taken Aug 2008 in Sabi Private game reserve. I just love how these leopards get themselves so comfy in the trees. I liked the late afternoon light in this too.

Much to enjoy with this Stu. Must go there one day. Super timing and love the splash of light on the head.

Yawning pose does it for me ... enhances relaxation look !! Glad you managed some light on the face !! Excellent capture !!

I like the simple background and the way the animal conforms to his surroundings. The lighting is interesting and the sun hits the right "spots"

Stuart, this is sublime. Great light, background and beautiful subject.
