Indian Leopard Coming Down Tree

Indian Leopard - Nagarhole National Park, India
------------------------------------------------------------
This past October I spent 20 days on safari in India. The jungles were lush and very green after the summer monsoons which provided an amazing backdrop for shooting in. This male Leopard was rather cooperative sleeping away in a tree during the evening. I photographed this cat the moment he came down the tree at 5000 ISO at only 1/40 with the help of a beanbag. I particularly enjoy the blurred paws given the slow shutter speed.
