Combining immense creative skill, patience, and a stroke of luck, a photographer in southwestern India has captured a breathtaking feline phenomenon. A spotted leopard is “shadowed” by her black panther companion in a moment of incredible contrast and color.

The shot, for 32-year-old wildlife photographer Mithun H., was a “once-in-a-lifetime” win.
