Mother Leopard/Kabini#8

[Praveen Siddannavar]

We had spent about 15-20 mins with the leopard family and it was already late to reach the exit gate. So the jeep started moving, I saw that the mother leopard was sitting high up on the tree branch & I felt she turned to look for us, these were some beautiful moments that are in my memory. I turned back and shot the last image of her, this was shot handheld:sad: It feels so sad to have left the leopards and returned back to the resort.

This was really a amazing sighting you had. Nice pose captured. I liked the composition with the mother sitting on the left corner of the tree and looking down at you. You can crop just a bit from the top to get more focus on her. This moment will be with you for a long time to come :). Thanks for sharing this amazing interaction. Look forward to more.

A superb series. We don't often see a leopard mother and cub. So it was nice watching the entire series. Looks like the leopard is sad that you are leaving. :D

Cheers,
