Early Morning Hunt
I am just returning from a trip to the Sabi Sand and Timbavati Game Reserves in the Greater Kruger area of South Africa. I was fortunate to see one of my favorite leopards, Nthombi, a 13 year old female in the Timbavati. I also saw Nthombi in 2012, 2014 and 2016 and have posted images of her in the past. We found her at 7 a.m. and were fortunate to follow her in some nice early morning light as she patrolled her territory and unsuccessfully hunted for breakfast. I will try and catch up on some of the posts I missed over the next few days.
Canon 5D3
70-200 II @ 115mm
1/1500
f4.5
ISO 3200
HH from safari vehicle, slight crop for comp and to remove brightest area in ulc, curves, selective color adjustments and sharpened in PSCC. I wanted to maintain the ethereal, soft feel of the backlit first morning light.
C&C welcome and appreciated. Thanks,
Rachel
