Great shot and this must be a huge tree

this is awesome

Gorgeous photo !!

Beautiful

Premium

Incredible shot! I love how small that tree makes the leopard look. It must be huge. Love the creamy bokeh behind the tree and leopard and how you were able to keep most of the tree and leopard in focus. Congrats on being the people's choice winner! Well deserved!

How exciting to be able to capture this shot!!
