    love the angle here Ken - nice pose too.
    hope to see some of these lovely Bots leopards when I visit the area later this year.

    Also like the low perspective and front paw lift enhances nicely Ken

    Morkel,

    Leopards cannot be guaranteed even in Botswana, but we have had some great luck, in National Parks (Moremi, Savute and Nxai Pan) and private concessions we have seen at least one on all of our manyvisits to Kwando (both Lebala and Lagoon).

    Marc and Harshad,

    Thanks very much

    Lovely Male Leopard, like the comp and angle. The also love the space on the right hand side. You had some excellent sightings in Savuti TFS

    Well done Ken. As mentioned the comp is outstanding. Good sharpness as well. IMHO lifting the shadows slightly brings out a bit more from this outstanding image, just a tought. Very well done.
