These modern camera bodies (this was not even a pro level body, at that) produce miraculous results at times! It is the first decent leopard shot I have ever taken in India, they are generally very shy and elusive here, mainly because they mercilessly persecuted by humans (and tigers). Please see LARGE Comments and criticism, as ever, welcome. Cheers Jayanand
