Leopard descending tree at dusk, South Africa, June 2015

I remember my arm burning as I held up my long lens and watched the leopard through my viewfinder, waiting for the moment she came down from the tree. It felt like an eternity as my arm started to shake and the sky turned the most incredible pastel shades.
