Leopard, Savuti
Leopard, Savuti... Botswana
I am sitting in the Air France lounge on my way home after two fabulous weeks in Botswana. Photo opps included
7 leopards, 3 cheetah, many lions, wild dogs, countless elephants, and so much more.
Two of the leopard encounters were among my best ever. It is so hard to pick a favorite among the hundreds taken.
1D Mark IV, 500mm
Manual, 1/250 @ f/5.6, ISO 1600
Post-production- 15in MBP, LR3, CS5, NIK
See you where there is light, or at the computer

Gorgeous Chas, like the Zebra (?) rib cage nicely positioned just to add to the composition/story of the image. Was this near the channel, if so, was this Dumatau?
Lovely.
BTW Did you bump into Grant, although I know he is off this week guiding in other areas?

Post Production: It’s ALL about what you do with the tools and not, which brand of tool you use.
I love the vibrance here Chas - great composition and story too. Very much looking forward to see some more from your trip to Botswana!
Hey Chas,
Sweet light and the kill adds to the overall image too! I finally came in yesterday so safe travels!
Chas - nice scene with kill and broad tree trunk as bg. Looking forward to seeing more from your trip. Safe flight.
TFS,

Expertly produced as usual and a strong composition in support … beautiful.
I like everything I see about this. Nice work!
The Leopard looks great but I really like how well he fits into the environment surrounding him.
Terrific image as usual Chas

Good look back pose Chas, and I like the overall colours in this. Good to see a hint of the carcass in the frame too. Well captured.
Lovely image, and the inclusion of the nice evironment and kill also helps, my only nit would be a little tight at the bottom, but still a fantastic image well captured
