Description: Always one of the most elusive sighting in the safari, this time the female leopard was posing magnificently on a dead tree, with the last ray of sun, and the blessed downpour.
Story from behind the lens: I spotted the leopard in a perfect scenario, with dead trees, green grass, and perfect backlight from the sun. The weather was fast changing, and suddenly a powerful downpour started without advise. Once in a lifetime...the cloud did not cover the sun, and the magic combination of golden drops of rain gave to the situation this unrepetable atmosfere.
