This is from a series of images captured of a leopard that was sleep in a tree. We arrived just in time to capture her coming down from her high perch.

My complaint is the branch in front of her. What I like about it are the textures and shadows of the tree.

Great shot...I think if this was B/W you would have to look hard to find the cat. Super

The tree with all its gnarls and shades is fascinating. And the leopard descending is an added bonus in that it gives me a sensation of moving and stretching down.

Beautiful composition, wonderfully hidden leopard. It's the hiding that demonstrates viscerally just how dangerous this creature is. 9

A great shot, but that branch gets in my way visually.

The leopard is nearly hidden. This photo would make a great jigsaw puzzle!
