I was asked if I had a shot of this leopard looking straight at the camera.
How’s this one? Maybe not quite directly at the camera, possibly more interested in the elephant dung (see previous).
It still has a blue tip to the tail though! (I have checked my other shots and it’s there in all of them).

Like the stare and that the leopard is mid-stride. I also really like the curled tail. Image quality is pretty good but could be a bit better. I can’t tell whether focus grabbed the stick to the leopard’s left or whether there is a touch of motion blur in the cat. As to the blue, cameras often add an unnatural blue to the darks in an image. You can remove it by desaturating the blue channel in whatever photo processing software you use.
Thanks Lyle, you are right it’s not quite as sharp as it could be, maybe motion blur.
I have managed to tone down the blue.
