Liquid Gold
Our guide told us that the leopard would be thirsty after eating his kill high up in a big jackalberry tree. Knowing that he was on its way to the waterhole, we could position ourselves perfectly for the shot. I pressed the shutterbutton when he curled his tail in the beautiful golden light of the setting sun, while we could hear him lapping up the water in the pool in front of him.
