I enjoyed this, Eric. When you look at he cat's pupil's and how tiny they are during the day, I was just thinking of how large they must be at night. I like those shots a lot.

Both look fine size wise to me...
Wonderful exposures on these and love the comps and the stare in the first especially is quite captivating
Lar
Thanks for confirming the size Lar...this guy was in stealth mode...4 hours of waiting with this guy would pay off in a most amazing way.

Super work with the light Eric, really nicely done

You got that right Tim...I can't imagine how many of these guys I have driven past and not seen...and I suspect the normal inhabitants of the bush are always on alert...but sometimes $h!t happens...to be continued

Great pair of pics Eric with a lovely pose, comp and look in the second one.

Thanks Martin, I have at least 100 pix of this guy...most he's lying down so the occasional "look" was a welcome change.

Eric,
Nice pics, don't these guys ever have a craving for photographer
seems you are pretty close

Thanks Tim...they don't view the vehicle and its inhabitants as prey...or so the text book says...so you have to hope the leopard read the book....we were actually pretty far away in order to get an angle to shoot pretty high up.
