Wildlife Image of the Week for the week ending February 15th, 2013: Rachel Hollander - A simple portrait

[Daniel Cadieux]

Congratulations Rachel!

This is perhaps one of the simplest images (due to comp, conditions, bg) taken during my multiple sightings of leopards on my August trip but it is also one of my favorites. Taken in the Timbavati Game Reserve, South Africa.

100-400 @ 400mm

HH from safari vehicle, levels, curves, selective color adjustments and sharpened in CS5/6.

C&C welcome and appreciated. Thanks,

Rachel
