I just went through a folder full of Leopard images from my workshop in 2012 that went from Sabi Sands Game Reserve adjacent to Kruger National Park in South Africa to the largest mammal migration on Earth (the great Straw-coloured Bat migration) in Zambia.

Funny how I initially rejected all of the images without a direct stare. I love the undisturbed and peaceful nature of this image. My zoom lens adjusted to 116mm and this is a full-frame image, so we were close :) I remember finding this lazy male who spent most of our encounter snoozing. This image was created just after he stood up and yawned, just before he sauntered off directly towards us before veering off to the right.
