The background is stunning Don and the tree is amazingly special and cool!
How awesome for you to be there when a leopard poses on it
BB
Thanks BB. I often pass by trees in Africa and say "there should be a leopard in that tree"! This time it happened; in spades!

That is a stunningly effective image Don. I don't have any of my own images on the wall, but I would probably change that practice if I had something this good.
Thanks Ken. I've seen lots of your stuff that would make fine enlargements.

Looks like it is catching the early cool air and avoiding the damp dew on the ground.
Thanks. It seemed to want to hunt, which it did shortly after this photo was taken.

This is a beauty Don. Did you remove the little dark spot in the lower left before printing? I love the composition using the tree as a natural frame and it's amazing to observe how the leopard blends into the tree. I'd hate to walk under it by mistake!
Morris
Thanks Morris. I never remove "stuff" from my photos. Actually walking under the tree would be quite safe. Leopards almost never attack people unless threatened.

What a cool image! I like its simplicity and the gesture of the cat. I can imagine it wagging that tail before heading off to hunt.
Thanks Trey. The leopard jumped off turned and was down the tree so fast I barely got any shots.
Don
Great shot Don !!!
