Congratulations! This is the Image of the Week selection for the Wildlife Gallery, week ending 19th October, 2012!Many of you will be familiar with this sighting...this is the 3rd frame from this sequence that I've posted here.
If you want to read the full story (which I believe is worth it) - check out this BLOG POST of mine. :D

We waited in excess of 4-5 hours for this leopard to return to its kill, risking that it might not return at all before sunset...

Techs:
Nikon D3s with Nikkor 500mm f4 VR-II
f4.0 @ 1/200 SS @ ISO-5600

Great shot! I like the form of the tree, also. Leopard is beautiful. A very special image!

Thanks for all the kind comments, and the IOW, I was honestly expecting Ron's whale image to be this week's pick :D
