Thank you so much, Maria, one of the most challenging shots. The weather conditions were a nightmare! The fact that I had to put my camera in the water added to my stress levels.

Wow Landie, this is such an amazing image

Thank you Bruna! This image made it to the Top 10 in die Admired in Africa Awards in 2019. On the day I took the photo – this made us VERY LATE for the gate. Totally worth it though.

Thank you for posting Landie. He is beautiful, and you handled your exposure very well; however, the eyes are slightly soft. Please just remember to focus on one of the eyes of the Leopard. That way, both eyes will be sharp.
