Oh my! What a beauty this is. Perfectly presented. Love all aspects of this, colors, eyes, the turn of head, the leg upon branch and the wood branch to be so proud. Thanks.

Stunning capture of the powerful face of this leopard. Your perspective is excellent as is the clarity and fine detail. Awesome anticipation in the face. Impressive shot. A pleasure to view!

Comment from ELAINE'S PHOTOGRAPHS
Super this is fantastic. Love the POV, colors and textures here. I may have saturated it a little bit, only to bring out the leopard more from the bg, but overall fantastic!

Your artistic experience is really showing with this shot of this leopard. I have no idea how you could have shot this better.

How awesome it must have been to see him like this. They are such beautiful animals. I like the way you took this so close up so you can see so much detail in him. I like the intent look you captured. makes you wonder what he is thinking. An excellent and beautiful picture.

The Leopard looks regal while surveying the landscape from his perch on high. Beautifully spotted, and colorful cat, looks intent on spotting it's next meal. Excellent shot. Ron

This is one of those rare photos where editing would do more harm than good in my opinion. Most photos of Leopards seen today are either taken in zoo settings and no matter what you do with your camera there is an unnatural; "I do not belong here look" in the animal's eyes. Not this one. It shouts with authenticity and to go fooling around in photoshop or some such program would have been a shame here.

Your cropping even calls attention to that muddy paw which inform us that this animal has been about some serious business prior to pausing for this shot. Great job.
