Description

We were out in a game drive in Botswana when we spotted a leopard high in a tree and quite obstructed. After enjoying the limited view for a bit we were just leaving when the leopard starting to make his way down the tree. He reached this little branch and was just preparing to make his final leap to the ground when he glanced over at our vehicle. It was very cool to get the photo face fully towards us.

Specific Feedback

Please give me any thoughts regarding framing, lighting, color and overall composition. I appreciate all of your collective wisdom and any suggestions for improvement. Thanks.

Hi Timothy,
What a pleasure to see the big cat in its own space. I like the way that tree blends in with the leopard. Also the background is subtle.
