Leopard sprint | Kabini

[Bhargava Srivari]

On a fine, misty winter morning when we saw a handsome male Leopard get down a tree and cross the road near the edge of the backwater, we drove to the road on the other side of the forest patch hoping to see him again. As we expected, fierce calls of alarm started soon, but to our surprise, a lovely Leopardess came walking out of the dry thicket and dashed across.

Delightful rhythmic(al) action while crossing at fast pace beautifully captured. The rosettes are richly patterned and the tail is long. Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Lovely capture

You freezed the action nicely. The front legs in the mid air position add to the image. Wish the light was from behind you, that would have enhanced the composition further. Thanks for sharing.
