Beautiful Leopard Photograph

This is the best camera trap photograph of a wildcat that I have seen. It is of a leopard in its habitat. The leopard is looking down a track he probably uses all the time. That is why the camera was set up at this point. I have improved the image quality a bit. This is allowed under the license. I hope the authors of the image, the Smithsonian Institute, approve of my treatment. It is quite subtle. It makes it a truly beautiful image, I feel. The picture was taken in China.
