Leopard from Bera

[Vipin Sharma]

Leopard from Bera , is always a treat to sight.
One actually familiar to sight these elusive beauty in dense forest somewhere at the top of the tree but in Bera they are found in entirely different terrain.
Until very recent Bera was hardly known among wild-life photographers. Bera, a perfect example of coexistence of human and animal.
The entire Aravali hill locks where leopards have their habitat, is a revenue land and it has not been declared a wildlife sanctuary.

Nice composition. Leopard climbing the hillock, the long tail has made the image beautiful. Thanks for sharing. SaktiWild

Looks like an evening scene. The shutter speed was low. You have done fine handholding at such shutter speed. Not sure if the focus is slightly infront of the leopard. Wish you had better light and a higher shutter speed for higher sharpness. The landscape has come out well. Why not use the 500 f4? You could have got one more stop. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Liked the display of the habitat and the composition. Its good that you got the head slightly turned towards you. When was this photographed? Thanks for sharing.

Nice image, it's transmitting the habitat to the viewer. Please do a write-up on Bera including stay options, etc. Thanks for sharing.
