Leopards Playing
Finally getting a chance to work on a few from my tour to Tanzania. There was also a female (mom) with them but they were busy plaing around after the elephants had passed......and almost stepped on one! The grass was tall so needless to say my group was thrilled as they climbed up into the tree.
Canon 1D Mark 3 with the Sigma 300-800mm lens at 434mm at f/8 for 1/2000 sec. at ISO 800 on a bean bag. Cropped from horizontal to FF vert. Saved at 71 quality to fit.

I am totally in love with this image. I love the way that the dark bush at the back frames the top fellow. also I like that kind of naughty look of the leopards. very well captured hear sir.

Hi Roman , you seem to have had some great opportunities on your trip. Great IQ and most important you have captured the playful nature of the cubs. Look forward to seeing more from this trip.

You gotta love this , one of your best

Stunning shot Roman! You just blew my leopard-in-tree shot to bits with the golden light on this one
Very nicely framed and timed...
I love the addition of the kill in yours.......so I'd take that one!Originally Posted by Morkel Erasmus

I'll trade you one of my shots with leopard-and-kill for one of yours with two leopards
Awesome image and sighting so very well captured
Love the way the tree intersects the image. Like the position of the leopards as well.
Neat shot Roman. The cats really stand out from the BG and I like how the tail and paw tie the two together.
I can offer Tiger with killI'll trade you one of my shots with leopard-and-kill for one of yours with two leopards
Big mouth!!
Let's see it first...
Just what I was thinking Roman.
Super impact, Roman. Love everything about this one. Hope you print it big.
Roman - fantastic image. I love the look that the top leopard is giving you. I agree that the diagonal line of the tree makes for a nice overall comp. Congrats!
TFS,

Hey Roman, captured nicely in the open, and I do like your framing and choice of comp. Love the colours.
