Item Description

"Running Leopard on Blue Rocks – Namibia" by Merle Wasson


In this dynamic, signed photograph, Merle Wasson captures a rare and electrifying moment in the highlands of central Namibia—a leopard sprinting at full speed across vivid blue-hued volcanic rocks. The striking background owes its colors to mineral-rich outcrops enhanced by water and evening light, creating an unforgettable natural palette. Using a slow shutter speed and expert panning technique, Wasson conveys the raw energy and motion of the leopard, producing a sharp primary image with a ghosted secondary form—a visual echo of speed and grace.

Measuring 28" x 22" and elegantly framed at 2¾", the piece also includes a photograph of the artist on location in Africa.

This is an extraordinary opportunity to own a work that combines fine art, rare wildlife behavior, and the mastery of an internationally published photographer.
