- The pursuit of the elusive leopard

    “The charm is the pursuit of that which is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope”

    After searching and trying....finally, we had an opportunity to get close to a leopard.
    He's resting, probably just ate.
    In the distance, the plains dotted with wildebeest, zebras and gazelles... the next meal.

    LA BUSQUEDA DEL EVASIVO LEOPARDO
    “El encanto esta en la búsqueda de lo que es evasivo pero alcanzable, una serie perpetua de ocasiones que brindan esperanza”

    Después de buscar y de intentar repetidamente….finalmente, aparecio la oportunidad de acercarnos a un leopardo.
    Él esta descansando, probablemente acaba de comer.
    En la lejania vemos la sabana africana punteados con los ñus, las cebras y su proxima comida...las gacelas.

      What a cool shot! I wish I could see just a tad more detail in the leopard though.

      Beautiful shot, and I wish I was there. I would bring up the leopard up with curves in Photoshop, though.

      Great composition... I unlike the others like the silhouette effect....
