I have posted these few pictures of Leopard, not only to showcase the animal's grace and beauty but also to highlight the challenges that any photographer faces in clicking the wildlife. We tried to take a decent picture of this animal for about 10 minutes but it did not come out once from behind the coverage in open.
As it was perhaps pondering about how to spend her day, it turned its head and looked straight into my camera and kept on staring for a few moments. Then it decided to move on.

Finding your subject behind the foliage in such a manner that the auto focus on your camera goes crazy is as frustrating to a photographer as anything. Also frustrating is trying holding a two feet long and 5 kg heavy equipment on a moving vehicle on a bumpy road with no extra hands to hold the vehicle for safety. (Nischal Goel can elaborate in detail on the dangers involved) On the top of it the animal decides to be evasive and shy and remain behind the cover and you have to keep on continuously focussing manually on it, can be detrimental to your pictures.
So when we see a decent picture of another wise shy animal, we should wait a second to appreciate the long hours, hard work, patience and resources that the photographer would have put in to click a good picture.
