An interesting idea William something I have tried myself and it's difficult to achieve? I think you have nearly achieved it. Possibly some more of the people in the frame? Did you take some images of the people in focus and the background out of focus? If you have others then one or two of them would be interesting to see. :)

Well seen William! You should put a bold copyright on this- every Tom, Dick and Harry's sister in South Africa is going to download it. Give it a month and it will be circulating by e-mail.

Thanks for the comments.

Stamper, I was limited in my movements at that point - it was a tense situation. We had been following her for about twenty minutes and then she saw the impala. She stood like that for about six or seven minutes
before making her move (and disappeared out of sight). It took us a few seconds to start the vehicle up and get going, by which time she had made the kill - this is the first usable picture I got from the moving Land Rover.

An amazing experience, especially seeing the mother's reaction. She tried to follow the leopard while "barking" and snorting at her - trying to see what had happened to her lamb... that is the way nature works, I suppose.

Amazing image, William.

Riaan is right. Put a bold copyright watermark on it, and then hope that Getty steals it so you can maybe get a million bucks for it in court (see the other new post today on the Getty court result).
