Hi Lance - Another beautiful and dramatic conversion. This works well. I just wish the dark, thick vertical line wasn't coming out of/intersecting with the head but not a deal breaker.

TFS,
Rachel

I agree with Rachel's post above completely Lance, the dappled light is exquisite,is the vignette natural?

Lance I love colour,B and W conversions have to really be a bit special for me to be drawn to them ,this is one of those images that works really well for me and that's without how elusive leopards can be.
A real pleasure to view cheers for sharing

Hi Lance -- Another lovely image , you are on fire ! agree with what Rachel has to say regarding the dark branch intersecting the head , but all in all a very nice image .

TFS !

Dear Lance,

Love your night prowler! And especially the mysterious effect the conversion brings about. I like the space around the subject, the scarcity of light makes me notice and not just merely look.
A successful frame IMO and I enjoyed viewing, thank you so much for sharing:cheers:

Kind regards,
