Just back from another very successful trip to both the Eastern and Northern areas of the Serengeti. One highlight being this superb male leopard striking a wonderful stalking pose for me after the sun had set to the backdrop of a beautiful pastel dusk sky.
I'm back here again in 4 weeks to document the Wildebeest calving season.

Awesome image Marc. Fabulous sighting and capture in all regards. Glad you are giving the 2.8 a thorough work out. In safe hands. My 800 is due this month I am told. Otherwise, all is as was. Happy New year BTW.
Make your life spectacular!

Wonderful!  I love everything about this one Marc - the pose, the eyes and that stare are the icing on the cake.

Wishing you a Happy and Healthy 2023 continuing to do what you love in the wilds of Africa. :)

Reminds me of my vision of what a Sabre-toothed Tiger must have looked like!!! Menacing!

Impressive pose- love the colorful sky for background. I would not like to encounter this cat in the dark!
