Leopards in their Natural Habitat

A Leopard is the most difficult of the Big Cats to see in the Mara, cubs even rarer, and a Leopard carrying a cub in her mouth probably the rarest. You made the choice easy for me. A stunning image that shows the Leopard in motion in the warm morning light and is tack sharp.

Congratulations on the Win.

An amazing photo of this young Leopard jumping off the tree in mid air with his front paws fully stretched out. The photographer's skills are excellent, got the perfect moment of the leaping leopard, captured at a high shutter speed to avoid motion blur in warm golden hour light.

Congratulations on 4th

A like the way this Leopard is looking over his shoulder and at the photographer. The photo is very well framed, is tack sharp, and has a nice green bokeh which stands out in contrast to the Leopard and the fallen tree branch.

Congratulations on 5th

You are really lucky to get this photo of this Leopard on a tree at night.The lighting is excellent. The Leopard is alert and its gaze seems to be fixated on the light source. Despite the low light the photographer has done an excellent job in getting the Leopard tack sharp

Congratulations on 8th

Wow...an angry Mama with her cub seeing to be unperturbed and focused on making sure the photographer got a great photo. The photo is very well composed, I like the framing within the decaying tree. It looks as if the Leopards are enjoying the comfort of the shade on a sunny afternoon

Congratulations on 10th

A rare sight to see a Leopard with a Kill in its mouth. The Leopard is tack sharp, well composed and there are no distracting elements in the photo. It looks as if the Leopard has already made the kill and is going to commence dragging the prey up the tree.

Congratulations on 3rd

Stunning photo of this Leopard's intensity and on the move. The Leopard seems focused on something, probably its prey and seems to be walking with a purpose. The photographer has done an excellent job in getting a tack sharp photo. The angle is good.

Congratulations on 9th

What an amazing photo of this Leopard lying on the termite mound. The photograph is well framed with the leopard on the left side, tack sharp and has a nice bokeh. The warm morning light adds to the overall mood of this photo

Congratulations on 6th

A stunning image of the Leopard on the tree looking behind him and sideways and licking his lips. The photo is tack sharp and has an excellent green bokeh which brings out the contrast of the Leopard. The bright circle glyph is distracting and could have been toned down post processing.

Congratulations on 2nd
