Wonderful pose with a caption that conveys the mood well. He does look lazy. Looks like you use of fill flash was excellent. Not too much, but enough to overcome the back light you were presented with.

Certainly does look all tuckered out! Maybe just a bit more room on top. Overall very nice image.

That animal is just pooped !!! Great pose and look Agree on having more room at top and probably all around !!! Excellent !!!

Classic Leopard pose that I would love to get if I ever manage a trip of a lifetime! Perhaps as others have said, he needs a bit more room to breath.

Hi Peter,
If you do have room alll around.........just a very small bit for my tastes(if any at all!) I have seen many of these where the sky has bothered me.......in this instance I feel you have handled the lighting so well........that the sky between the leaves actually adds to the feel...........not an easy task! Expression, pose, and showing a bit of the kill combine to make this extraordinary!

[Robert Amoruso]

Nice pose and exposure looks good. Agree with the "more room" comments.
