Beautiful capture of a Leopard starring at perhaps its next lunch since the Impala was frighten off. Natural colors and tones in the scene. Good lighting, nice detail, sharp focus, good DoF, and well balanced photo and nicely composed in the frame. Overall, a very Beautiful Wildlife Photograph, well done!

Wow what an adventure and he looks with hatred for sure and ready for all - glad you got out of that situation
but of course you used the seconds to make your special shots and this one really is well taken in an outstanding mood
you did not even tremble as your shot is clear and sharp and still has genuine contrast and lighting - a danger portrait picture well composed , well framed , and well one in details

    thanks a lot Regina for your nice comments;
    I didn't tremble because the African driver was younger and more tasty for the leopard; LOL;

What a beautiful closeup shot! And yes, he does look angry! I assume you were just as exposed as the driver, but I hope you tipped him well for getting you this close!

Amazing to see this leopard in the wild, I can see that he is angry by the position of its ears and those eyes! Well focused, clear image , I see good detail over every visible part of this beautiful animal, exposure is well,managed, colors and tones appear natural. Well composed and presented! Your notes are interesting, what an amazing trip!

Amazing that you are able to get this close to a leopard in the wild. A very nice portrait that captures the leopards mood beautifully. Nice composition with great colors.

Comment from Charlie Newman


You not only have captured the mood of this leopard, but your photo clearly displays the intensity of that mood. As always, the eyes have it in wildlife photography, and your perspective captured the true spirit of this predator very well. A virtual six star to you; don't have a real one to give.

Yes, he does not look too happy about the recent situation out there! Your, fine, full and central composition gives us a good look at his anger. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely done!

Fred,
A beautiful heart stopping picture of this angry Leopard a growl in it's throat, looking towards your Jeep from under it's eyelashes it's ears turned down& back whiskers twitching!! Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

A fabulous close up a wildlife image of this Leopard looking particularly angry at the intrusion.
I would be feeling a little unsafe too. Lovely clear image, great lighting and composition. A pleasure to view!

What a splendid capture of the leopard! Fine example of wild life photography. Your timing appears to be perfect and you have captured the angry look on leopard's face very well.
