Description: A Leopard relaxes in a tree after feeding on her kill

Story from behind the lens: We came across "Bella Two" in a tree with a kill late one afternoon. The light was not very good as there was heavy cloud. We stayed around for a while not taking many pictures and eventually decided to leave. As we were about to leave, however, a small ray of sunlight lit up the ribs of the kill, highlighting them nicely for just a few seconds
