At first glance, those eyes stare at you, sharp as ever, shining ever so beautifully in the light. He is magnificent, the shades of orange and yellow complementing the black markings on the body like the handiwork of an artist. The leopard is an endangered species in Sri Lanka and this capture is worth the painstaking journey through the jungle. He carefully makes his way to the pond to quench his thirst, crouching low. The reflection of this beast on the water is stunning. He is unmoved by the lens focused on him, but poses with pride bringing this creation to life!
