Description: Female leopard looking over her shoulder
Story from behind the lens: Natito and her cub had been feeding in a tree. They jumped down and Natito led the way to some thick bush on a rocky hillside. Her cub seemed more interested in playing the grass than following her into cover. Before disappearing into the bush she sat down to wait for her cub to follow. As she patiently looked over her shoulder, the sun caught her face and chest illuminating her beautifully.
