Leopards seem to be most safari aficionados’ favorite big cat. And for good reason. They really are fine looking specimens. This one stopped for just a moment to look toward camera. They can be notoriously aloof toward safari vehicles (which is a good thing) but will occasionally acknowledge your presence, if just for a quick, disinterested glance. This lovely lady was photographed in a private concession just outside the Masai Mara in Kenya. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/5.6 at 1/250th of a second.
