Here’s another one from Botswana. This time a leopard, just hanging out watching the sun go down over the Linyanti plains along the northern border with Namibia, Zimbabwe and Zambia. Shortly after I took this shot and the sun set, the leopard climbed down from the tree and headed out on a hunt. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 280mm) ISO 400, f/4 at 1/1250th of a second
