16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Leopard in tree South Africa

This photo was taken whilst on one of my trips to my home country South Africa. I am a 21 year old student with a cheap Sony a-series camera. I was on a self-drive in Kruger National Park and took this photo in the dusk hours. I will never forget how fast my heart was racing once we spotted this male leopard.
