Twilight had just about ended and it was very dark when this leopard jumped up onto a termite mound and posed for a few portraits. Even at 3200 ISO, the files looked great coming out of my camera — showing very little noise, even at 100% crop. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 86mm) ISO 3200, f/2.8 at 1/25th of a second
Speaking of noise, do you ever hear these creatures growl, or meow, or whatever sounds they make? It would be comical if an animal as majestic as this big cat made a simple mewing sound!

Excellent exposure and as you say, very little noise for ISO3200.
