Great capture. Very difficult to sight this big cat.

Nice stare from the Leopard well captured.Eventhough these parts are well populated with Leopards sometimes they dont present themselves in front of ua.

Nice inquisitive look captured. It would have been difficult to frame it through the vegetation in the foreground. How long was the sighting? When was this photographed?Do mention the equipment details along with the EXIF details. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Mrudul, Yes it was tough but I had pictured in my mind to take the image through leaves. The sighting lasted over 30mins and 15-20 mins the next day. Got some really good images I believe. Still processing is underway. This was photographed in the evening around 5:30 pm.

Camera: 7d mark ii
Lens: 100-400 mm

Wow! Congratulations!

I have seen tiger in BR Hills but not lucky with leopards. Great that you could sight a leopard. I like the pose. The image doesn't look sharp. May be focus is slightly off. It will be easier to notice if you post a bigger image. Look forward to seeing more from this sighting. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
