Snow leopard wins top photo prize
Edited on Sat Nov-01-08 01:13 AM by girl gone mad
The headline is a bit misleading. The snow leopard didn't actually win the prize, the man who photographed the snow leopard did.

Snow leopard wins top photo prize

A picture of an elusive snow leopard on a night-time prowl has won the prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2008 award.

Steve Winter's image was captured during a 13-month quest to snap the perfect photo of the endangered species in its hostile habitat high in the mountains of Central Asia.

3. I can see why
The picture is so perfect that it almost looks completely fake. Everything about it is breath taking.
