PotW - 26 May, 2009

This week’s PotW comes from Marc, congratulations :)

Here we have a very impressive looking Leopard cub laying stretched out in South Luangwa National Park, Zambia surrounded by leaves, providing great camouflage. The capture provides great natural tones and is well framed. Nature does provide us with great moments, and for me, this is one of the best.
