leopard!
in three visits to South Africa's Kruger National Park I only saw one leopard, but it was rather a magnificent one. It broke out of the bushes and crossed the road right in front of us on a dull morning, and then it was gone. I had to stop the car, change lenses and trust to luck, in less than 20 seconds, but I got this one shot which has it's own something about it even if it's on a road with a giraffe's legs in the background - to me it carries a lot of the sense of what it's life to experience the moment, which a classic leopard in a tree shot doesn't always. scan of 35mm transparency
