Description: Leopard Lounging in Tree

Story from behind the lens: Early morning we gathered around a tree with a sleeping leopard. As the sun was hitting the tree a hot-air balloon descended to a low altitude to get a closer look. As it fired up its burner to regain altitude the leopard looked up to see what the noise was. Before he put his head back down, he looked at the vehicles and I took my shot.
