Really like the mixture of light and shadow, with the leopards face perfectly in the light.

[Hendri Venter]

I like the relaxed pose and sun falling on the face. Great sighting and image Russel.

lovely image, you did very well getting the image as sharp as you did considering the SS used..

looking forward to more ...

Russell crank up that ISO and give yourself a fighting chance. ;)

I might just add a bit more green foliage in the BG still leaving a bit of light there around the head. Nice light and pose.

Russell,

Interesting to see you used spot metering, I used to do this but now rely on EV and adjust after test shot. A little to far in the shade for me.

the light is falling sweetly here, nice comp and good techs too Russel!
