Thanks Praveen for sharing. Majestic image, I wish if the leopard was facing you it would have been wonders. You were lucky to witness this moment. F4 has covered the entire animal from front to back perfectly, at F4 with ISO 800 shows low light conditions. How much crop is done?

[Praveen Siddannavar]

Thanks Ashok, the Leopard was very nervous being out in the open with a kill. He was keen to get in to the bushes quickly, so he never turned towards me. However I am glad to have witnessed and made some images that I could share with you all. Crop is negligible hence you may consider it as full frame.

Nice composition..the greens all around add value. There is calmness written all over the image, although I believe the leopard wasn't so calm

[Mrudul Godbole]

Nice composition. The details are good. Good that you could witness and photograph this incident. Thanks for sharing.

Did you see it while catching? That would have been tremendous. It is always great to watch a predator with a kill. The greenery looks nice. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

[Praveen Siddannavar]

Yes Sabyasachi I did see the hunting but unfortunately couldn't capture it as it all happened in the bushes.
