Amur leopard
Another one from Russia and in my eyes the best. If you'd like to see the rest they are here:

I thought I'd only see these cats in the dark but was lucky enough to have around a half hour with just enough light to take pictures. Much more fun than the camera traps.

This is the one I was hoping you were going to post!!
Love the movement in the legs whilst retaining the sharpness of the head.

Brilliant!!!

Hey Craig I just got some prints done to send to the Russian guys. Nip round and have a look.

Must have been a wonderful experience... like this and the sense of motion around that sharp head...

Lovely shot, beautiful colours. You've done really well here to capture stillness in the head but movement in legs and tail. Great pose and composition too!

Can't argue with what's been said. A great image elevated by the movement.
Top drawer stuff.

Bet these were hard to find - nice shot thats elevated because of the subject and the work in getting it - love the backwards look.
