I was fortunate to go on a Photosafari in Botswana. I stayed in 3 different camps over 10 days and got to observe some fascinating wildlife. Will post over time as I go through the many pictures I took. The first leopard had killed an antelope a day or so prior and was still consuming and guarding it. In the third image-- there was a pack of wild dogs underneath the tree and the leopard was not too happy. The next two was a leopard who went on a hunt but failed. The last is a Leopard who had a small kill below and saw a hyena in the distance and was keeping an eye on it.

These are just sensational Mark! I love wild cats and your up-close-and-personal compositions put me there! I just can't imagine the "rush" you had observing and shooting these majestic creatures! Sends chills to me just viewing them on a screen..30" at that!

Absolutely wonderful, Mark! What amazing cats, and you have captured some great behavioral images here. That last image is so sharp, you could shave with it.
Hhahaha thanks. I think the shave might be a little too close.. especially with those teeth
