[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
We were driving around in the Kwando concession between Lebala and Lagoon camps and arrived just in time to see this beautiful male leopard jump in a tree where he stayed for half an hour lying lazily on a high branch. As we were driving an open vehicle I tried to use my monopod, but the angle was too steep, so I had to aim the camera and hope for the best.

Ha Daniel,

Ook hier een geweldig portret van deze magnifieke kat,ondanks de wat moeilijke hoek heb je hem er perfect opgezet,dit soort plaatjes zijn zeer zeker reden genoeg om weer een terug te gaan naar africa,

Groetjes,
Paul

Beautiful! :) Such handsome eyes but I think if he turned them on me I would be backing away very quickly...
