Leopard in Lake Nakuru National Park

Such a beautiful animal in such a classic pose. Took so many shots but these are the best.

Wow, great looking animal. I like the first photo without the crop. Kinda makes you look more into the photo.

Yes I have it on my desktop and it looks great, reminds me every morning what a wonderful place Africa is and how much I need to save for the next trip

Really quite something, what I am shooting won't eat me! How close were you? lovely shoots.

I was about 40 feet away so fairly safe
