Pic of the Week #72

on Apr 06, 2018

Twilight

Kyle 14 Jan White Dam 7 Final

This young male had a kill close by and was so full, he decided to come and rest in the grass next to the tree his kill was in. With the sun just setting, the little bit of light from my tracker’s spotlight really brought out the colours of the surrounds of the young leopard.

  • Camera - Canon 7D MKii
  • Lens and focal length - Canon 100-400 MKii f4.5-5.6

Settings used on this image

Editing used on this image

I increased the highlights and dropped the shadows, making only the whiskers on the male leopard stand out.
