This is a very special image for me and probably the best leopard image that I have ever clicked till date. This particular image was shot when there was hardly any light present at 8000 ISO. We had been following this particular young female for about 10 odd minutes but she had been moving through real thick bush and had not given any real photographic opportunity to us. We ended up losing her momentarily before she emerged out into a small clearing about 8-10 meters from our vehicle. She stood still for around 4-5 seconds and disappeared into the bush again! I am glad we live in an era where the cameras continue to outperform year on year in extreme low light conditions. Shot on the Canon 1DX Mark II using the Canon 400mm f2.8 IS II at 400mm f2.8 8000ISO and a shutter speed of 1/200 sec.

Bronze-winged Jacana.
Their huge feet and claws enable them to walk on floating vegetation in the shallow lakes which are their preferred habitat!

Rachit Mehta Tack sharp. I'm guessing you've taken a shot of someone feeding it. Is feeding them still as common as it was earlier?
Gurdyal Singh Thanks. Seems it is still common feeding them
