Female Leopard Botswana, Reworked.


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Female Leopard Botswana,
Female Leopard Botswana,
Taken in Okavango Delta, Botswana, 2006.

Reworked and resubmitted. The original entry was not sharp enough and the sky was blown.
I decided to monochrome this picture as the Leopard and its prey see in monochrome. It makes sense of the Leopards beautiful camouflage as it surveys its territory before a hunt. This is a wild female Leopard about to hunt. She had a young cub but we did not see it. We were about 20 feet away from her.

Still one of my top 3 favorite photos Ive ever taken. Yet it never wins anything for me.

Great photographers are not great because of their technique; they are great because of their passion.
Congratulations for your achievement, August, 25, 2011. Merna
