Wild Snow Leopard male, Spiti Valley, India.
We found this large Snow Leopard male as he was looking for a cover during a snowstorm. His camouflage in the environment was simply amazing, If he hadn’t moved we would never have noticed him! I loved the textures and zig-zag shape of the snow-covered rocks and wanted to include it all in the composition even though I could get a tighter shot of the Leopard using a longer lens and a teleconverter. For me wildlife photography is firstly about capturing the Animal in the context of the environment.
