leopard (panthera pardus) elusive prince! Nakuru lake- Kenya

Wild leopards can only be seen in the African savannah if they want to

be seen! Most of the times due to their secretive nature they disappear

when they see danger approaching (humans are considered danger for

them). I was very lucky with this shot, cause this male leopard simply

couldn't leave the tree due to the presence of lions about 50 meters

away....so he ignored the photographer and paid attention to the

nearby "royal enemy" who would gladly kill him in a second if he

decided to come down! Thank you for your comments

Impressive!

Majestic...

great shot !!!

Beautiful shot of a beautiful cat.

Nice work. The color of the tree limb and its bark contrast nicely with the leopard. I'd like to see it a little bigger and check out the detail.

Truly a prize winner ,Excellent Image !

Nice perch, and a nice dof.

Beautiful image, Congrats

Amazing image, Theodore. I love it, congratulations.

Greeting from Miami

Theodore, very nice capture of this elusive beauty!

Another beautiful shot Theo! Love the DOF and color. Keep them coming.

The richness of color, especially in the tree bark, makes this image stand out in an already-impressive portfolio. Fine work.
