at 300mm, 1/800 f/2.8, ISO 200, tripod. Sabi Sands Game Reserve, South Africa. Specie: Panthera pardus

This shot has had some PP mainly around added vignetting to dramatize the night effect. It is however definitely a night shot. We had heard the was a leopard resting in a dry waterhole and two other vehicles were already there and photographing. We arrived just as the leopard started to move and it moved away from where we had stopped with only the back end of the leopard in view under spot light. The leopard walked about 40 meters from our vehicle and at the last moment before climbing an embankment turned it's head back towards the spot light. I was able to shoot a burst of 7 frames before the leopard turned away again and walked up the embankment into the bush. Basically spray and pray and was lucky to come away with a few nice shots.
