Nice sighting of a male early in the morning. Kind of makes your day :). Loved the shining coat. Nice composition. Thanks for sharing.

Great sighting. It is nice that you got to see the leopard marking its territory. Most of the times we see a leopard on the tree. This shot is a welcome change showing behaviour. Depth of field wise this is a difficult shot as you can't get the head and the hind part from this angle. If you were a bit more to the left then more of the body and head would have been parallel to the focus plane. Look forward to more. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Excellent eye contact and shining rich coat, this is a healthy Leopard moving about the jungles. The title 'temple male' reminds one of the temple tiger story which Jim Corbett had so beautifully narrated in his own words. Thanks for sharing.
