Lazing the hours away

The same Twee Rivieren Feral I posted before, but on another dune, another day. I realy played around here to get the image sharper, as I still do not like the, to me too sharp, fur I often see. NR on BG and also a faded blur. Several smart sharpen runs on the lady. D300, 200-400f/4, ISO 800; 1/500; +0,3ev; 18H08pm

Hmmmm... time for me to go look for some more leppies. Love the pose Callie, and just love the direct eye contact. You have brought out the head of the leopard nicely. If anything, I would tone down the BG on the RHS. Great sighting.

Hey Callie,
If the leopard was in the same light as the BG......wow.....but considering the shadow.....you managed this very well! I agree with Stuart on toning down the RHS a bit.

lovely pose and like the fall of light Callie. I too don't like oversharpened fur, but I do like a bit of definition in the fur. this looks fine to me, as opposed to the lion discussed earlier :)
I might sharpen the leopard a tad more - 0.2px or so

Great eye contact and view of the head.

The brightness of the RHS is distracting.

Hi Callie Love the pose and look

Could lighten the cat a bit more and darken the right as suggested. Here is a look

Eish! This is what distinguish the men from the boys in the PP department. I would love to see what you could do with the original, Alfred. Very well done, thanks!

Great capture, have you tried a vertical Head and shoulders crop?

[Steve Canuel]

Nice pose and eye contact. Personally don't mind the shadowed leopard and bright BG but wish the branches went all the way across.
