The phantom of the forest in his full glory, resting on a tree, wild and free. I have dreamt of seeing a melanistic leopard for as long as I could remember and it wasn't even close to what I expected.. it was much more. The black coat, the mesmerising eyes, the scene of the fallen curved tree in the jungle, and the Black Panther's visible rosettes is my dream frame. This black and wild cat has made me proud to be a wildlife photographer.
