Young Male Leopard/Kabini

[Praveen Siddannavar]

I had seen and photographed him when he was only 5-6 months old, he is growing fast & now he is about 15 months. He is the model boy & one of the boldest leopards at Kabini.

Nice image.The escape pose showing the muscular shoulder,the long tail of this elusive predator are of great attraction to me. Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

P.S:All tigresses like the company of Praveen Bhai, why not this Leopard!

[Murugan Anantharaman]

Lovely pose and eye contact. He's still growing so I guess he'll get bigger and am sure Praveen will not lose track of him . Wish the light was more on him.

Lovely image Praveen. Like all elements in this. The green leaf at the bottom right did however catch a bit of attention. You can crop that out. Thanks for sharing.

[Bhargava Srivari]

That cautious forward stride with his attention on the vehicle and its constituents makes this image stand out, for me.

Wonderful image Praveen. Nice pose and expression captured. Agree with Bibhav, you can crop out the leaf.

[Sabyasachi Patra]

Lovely pose and eye contact. Looks like critical focus is not on the head. I agree with Bibhav that without the leaf at the bottom right hand corner, the image will be strengthened. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
