What an amazing shoot this must have been, thanks for giving us a peek into the far away land of Botswana. Your photograph looks so exotic and perfectly composed. Light and framing are well done. Love the bland background so as to not take away from your subject. Just want to tickle under his front leg where it looks incredibly soft. Thanks for sharing your work with us.

It does look like this beautiful cat is posing for you. I love the beautiful coat and the eyes. He seems to be saying,"this is my best angle." wonderful capture. Nice lighting, color and sharpness.

This is a beautiful Leopard!
It is wonderful to see animals captured in a natural setting.
He has beautiful coloring and your focus is very sharp while leaving a softness to his fur.
This capture is nicely cropped and well composed. Very good initial impact, and good camera techniques. Well done.

Don't they look regal and aloof! Lovely colors and pattern on this one, and a very nice catch against the blue sky. Good work!

He's majestic and so beautiful. The way he is laying there looks like he's posing for you. He looks great on the branch. I would like to have seen the back of him too, but I'll take this.. Great shot and photo.
thanks, natalie

Beautiful...

Look at them eyes, and spots. So vivid and crisp. Good capture, great position, and the expression is remarkable.


Good presentation, lighting, center of interest and story telling.

A picture with pride. The big cat shows dignity and pride and the focus shows well the colours of the animal. It is beutiful to see how the sky makes some kind of a blancet over it all.
