Tanzania Spin Cycle
You expect leopards in Tanzania to look sleek and fierce, but this one gave me pure derp face while shaking off water. The wild, wide-eyed expression combined with the perfect spiral of water droplets makes it one of my favorite shots of the entire trip
Post processing notes:
I used ON1 Photo RAW to freeze the action by boosting clarity across the water spray and slightly enhanced the warm tones in the leopard's fur to pop against the green backdrop.Exif information:
