A female Leopard goes walkabout just after sunset in Kwando, Botswana.
I decided not to remove any of the background leaving it as nature intended.

"as nature intended"
Exactly the way it should be Ken! Very powerful and well composed image.

Awfully close to "picture perfect," as they say, Ken! I guess if it were mine I would be a bit bummed by the OOF branch intersecting her midsection, but good grief most wildlife likes hanging out in cover so I think we may tend to be a bit obsessed about overly "clean" views. This is wonderfully composed with fantastic techs and soft, muted evening tones.

Hello Ken.. good capture with environment included. Would have liked more tail to balance the image,
