Leopard hiding or so it thinks!

[V S Sankar]

It was sort of Leopard show for us at Sariska and this one was little away on the slope of a hill and relaxing.It was difficult to focus with 'Auto-focus" so used manual focus.

Nice relaxing pose captured. I think, Sariska will remain a fine leopard-country and it would never become a true tiger-land because of noise of traffic on highway. Fateh Singh Rathore once told me 'except for the oval shaped area what was there in Sariska ?' Thanks for sharing. SaktiWild

It is difficult to focus through dense vegetation. Its good you tried using manual focus. The front leg looks more in focus than the head. Maybe using a narrower aperture would have helped. The composition looks fine. Thanks for sharing.

Nice to see another leopard. I would prefer an uncropped version of the image. Thanks for sharing.
