And a few more that I'm sure will show up in the coming weeks. Yup, worth the wait!

Wonder who was the more hungry!

I love the look of disdain and arrogance in his eyes.

7 hours

I'd wait 7 days for a shot like this.

The beauty of these cats is hypnotic... I just keep staring and enjoying.
Excellent image Eric... excellent.

One of the challenges with such leopard on tree shots is always controlling the strong back light and you have controlled this difficult exposure superbly. With 7 hours you must have had quite a few different lighting conditions and ample time to take many test shots, but when the action happens it happens so quickly and always takes one off guard. One has to be ready to just press the button, no re takes here.

Very well done indeed Eric.

A great look and pose from the cat Eric! The light is really smooth. Very nice image! Waiting 7 hours is dedication. Did you literally sit there in one spot for that long wait for the cat to disembark?

We moved a couple of times around about a 20 foot circle and even took a lunch break for about 30 minutes or so by some eles....but for 3 hours or so we sat watching a tree and since the leopard moved into a position that prevented viewing we just watched an effing tree ....but it was about 100F so being in the shade was a little blessing. The occasional kingfisher and elephant passed by giving us something to look at every now and then but essentially it was just biding our time in hopes of something happening. Sort of like fishing....7 hours of fishing with about 30 seconds of catching and hoping you land the big one.

A most awesome image to have captured Eric. This one really has it all, the head turn, the intensity in the eyes, the lovely form and patterning and a full body shot showing grace and power and the utmost in beauty

The exposure looks study like in quality, not sure how you pulled all this off but the culmination of your time and efforts and talents has greatly rewarded both you and us...............Thanks

Super shot Eric!!!! It was well worth the wait to get this series of shots!!
