Having "discovered" a photo book that I prepared for our guide some years ago I was tempted to take another look and do some new processing.
Here is a young Leopard playing in a tree in Savute Botswana.

Gee, Ken, this is a genuine attention grabbing pose. Thanks for re-processing and sharing it!

Ken, the clean background really helps emphasize the lines and shapes of the leopard and branches. I'm not really sure what the best composition would be... since it's all about the pattern created by the two objects, just about anything works!

Really cool pose that I haven't seen in photos very often, if at all. Really cool moment captured! Thanks for sharing.

This is so Cool Ken. Love the playful "kitty" in the sleek predator here. What a character.
