This is till one of my favorite sightings from the African bush. I came across this leopard female at Mashatu game reserve, Botswana 14 October 2014. She had just finised taking down a helmeted guineafowl and enjyed her spoils high up in a Mashatu tree. I wanted the whole scene in the frame as an intimate moment. The eye contact made it special. Post processing was done in Adobe Lightroom 6. I cropped the image and straightened the horizontal. I removed dust spots.I did a small correction on white and black values, and decreased the highlights slider by 20%. A small amount of contrast was added and I sharpened the image with 30%.
