The Leopard.
A few here from Sth Luangwa Nat Park- Zambia.
D2Xs/300VR f/2.8

Female Leopard gazing intently at an Impala 50m away.

Mum & her 2x 3 mth old cubs, shame I couldn't get her attention as well, we spent an hour with these 3.

(apology for the cut off paw as well

) + BB

"Not too close" the little female getting brave :lol:

They are brilliant, I just love how sharp and clear they are Marc, and you managed to take them without a D3, and they turned out fine.

#1 is amazing. Leopard was one I didn't get an oppuunity for a good shot when I was in East Africa and it as dissapointing. Still, a good enough reason to go back!

love all three of them

there just so sharp, I wish I could go to a place that even gave a chance at taking a picture like that :!:

as you have to shoot past a mesh fence at the only place I know of in Victoria that have any big cats :shock:

(other than lions at werribee zoo)....
