An outstanding capture, Brad. Unbelievable! Such clarity of details, beautiful light, and fantastic POV. A shot of a lifetime!
I find the words on the picture distracting.
TFS this wonderful scene of life in the wild that few of us get to see with our own eyes. : )

Well it would be hard to top that shot. You can retire. You've reached the pinnacle! Not much evidence of camera shake. That crooked tree, the DOF, and the leopard's pose are perfection.

Magnificent! Love the "S" of the branch, the sharpness, the warm colours of sunset, the highlighting on the subject, and that's all not to mention what a spectacular subject it is! With a fresh kill in it's mouth non the less! There are a lot of photos that get idle praise on this site and this fantastic image is currently a 4 points after being posted for a day. This is how things work here. Definately one of the best images I have seen on this site!

Wow.

I agree with windancer. This photo should go over 100 points!
Absolutely brilliant this one! You were there at the right time. Great colors, great background and great catch.

regards,

Zeno.

This image is outstanding! Wonderful composition with that twisted branch creating a visual pathway through the image. Excellent sharpness and exposure despite the difficult lighting situation.

A wonderful photo, the glow of the morning sun is amazing on this leopard. I love how he seems to be looking right at you, daring you to try and take his meal. Wonderful shapes with the tree branches and the curve of his body, you did well with the low light. The focus looks great, excellent work.
