Leopard, Masai Mara Kenya
We missed this cat on our first drive-by through a small seasonal river crossing. It was well hidden in a leafy Brown Olive tree about 4m above ground and some 40m off the track. This photo was taken from the road (no off-road travel allowed in this area). Back-light compensation was used. Nikon D800 camera + Nikon 600mm VR lens; image cropped & sharpened.
