Attack

The reason there are so many Leopardsis down to the fact that they eat anything worthwhile.
Here this young man launches his attack on a Slender Mongoose which was trying to escape by going to the top of a tree.
A very silly mistake , more images to follow.

Great action shot. The large image is a must. The bright sky is a bit distracting, but you have to work with what you are given.

The action provides the desired tension. My only suggestion is to consider a more traditional format/ratio; in this case I would trim some of the sky.
