22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Amur Leopard at Golden Hour

It took me many years to study the Amur Leopard and literally months of waiting in and off the hide to see the first Amur leopard then I started keep the trap camera in their most visited locations and then I could get this image. This is one of the spot wherein both Amur Leopard and the Amur tiger visit. In the picture you can see an Amur Leopard. PS: All my trap camera setups are without flash on mirrorless so that there is zero disturbance for the subject.
