Wow that's a cracking shot. How close were you?

This beauty wasn't that close. The fence was way too far away from where I was, but managed to get this one shot that came out incredibly focused. The 600mm focal length didn't disappoint. I didn't even have to crop it post processing. They were very active running and chasing kids with leashes on. LMAO.

Not as great quality as yours, but not something you get to see every day...

Don't know about the quality mate but that's a great shot. Great example of the size difference between Male & Female. That big boy is huge

WELL done!!! Tiyani and Hukumuri may well be two of the best looking cats I've seen photos of; they're both fantastic subjects.

Every captured picture are really beautiful. Great work guyz!

Fantastic photos

first post on the forum, hope this is OK.. Leopards are my favourites too, this is my favourite shot - it's not quite sharp, she was sitting calmly on a branch then sprung down to get back to her lunch, and I didnt have time to adjust shutter speed (it's 1/400th) but I love the musculature, the movement and the light on her whiskers!

Thanks mate. Tiyani now has her first cub, about 4 weeks old. Here's hoping it survives.

(also I couldnt resist the shot of her and one of her 2 cubs tucking into lunch - didn't smell too bad until one of them bit into the intestine, then it was... memorable!)

the light temperature looks completely different in the 2 shots, because they're in shade in number 2, should I warm one of them up a bit?

No issues with me mate posting your photos....the more the merrier.

Not sure about the light temp. I don't adjust that in LR. The cub does look a bit overexposed though. Maybe just a bit washed out?

Wow! Love this one!
