Amazing scene. The leopard creeps upon crouching low till it gets closer.....flowing muscles....wonderful image. The Chital in the background remind us..... that their days have not yet come. Thanks for sharing. SaktiWild

This is a lovely scene. It shows how the leopard is able to take the cover of the depression and undulations of the terrain while mounting its attack. The deers in the background shows how close the predator and prey can be in the wild. How much of a crop is this? Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

I simple loved this image , spotted deer in background has no clue of his presence and he's not very far from them.
This is a perfect example of leopard being so adaptive to his surrounding , camouflaged technique at its best. TFS
