We spotted this Leopard entering the woods and our driver drove like a madman to a place where he thought it would come out. He ended up in a great place to get a shot just as the sun dipped behind some clouds behind us. Masai Mara.  Canon EOS 1D IV, EF 500/4, 1/800. f/4, ISO 800.

Nicely done with the diagonal movement through the frame Bob. This looks like a healthy youngster with a nice trim belly - and some great paws to grow into! Beautiful detail and soft light.

Beautiful light on this pretty cat, love the mean expression with those menacing yellow eyes. Nice pose capturing the movement.
