Nice. But my heart lies with your earlier posting, that was taken in serene and tranquil environment.Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

In this image, the leopard has raised its head and is looking back. With everything else remaining same, that would have resulted in the head coming closer to the focal plane and hence more in focus than the previous image. However, in this image the critical focus seems to closer to the head and locked on the foreleg portion as compared to the focus on hind portion in the previous image.

How many jeeps were there at this place during the sighting?

Thank you Sabyasachi Patra for your valuable comments.... initially for half an hour no vehicles were there and ours is the only vehicle but from only one place we could have got the pics clearly becoz there were so many branches to distract. we couldn't have moved forward or back word.
will post wider version of this image taken using zoom lens.
