leopard

D850 28 to 300mm 300mm 1/640 f5.6 iso 400 Not the greatest quality & focusing is off. This leopard was quite shy just popped out of the bushes and was gone again. Quite far too but I don't have to many shots with birds being caught so thought id just throw it in. Would have liked to have time...

D850 200 to 400 f4 1/800 f6.3 iso 720 400mm
