Dear all,
Sharing with you another of my favourite image from my trip to OD, Botswana. The leopard seems to be screaming "Stop 'bug'ing me!" at the flies hovering and gives them an 'upper cut' with his left paw :bg3: So there you have it, the paw, the jaw and all :S3:
Hope you like this!

Cracking pose, POV, details and exposure here Sanjeev!
I might just tone down brightest whites by about 5% more?
Hi Sanjeev -- what a beautiful image !! lovely details and sharpness , the POV makes this a great image !
I might burn the bright spot in the FG , it appears to me a bit distracting. TFS !
Lovely detail - great sharpness on the tongue!
Hi Sanjeev - You have been holding out on us again! I like this even better than the first upside down one you posted. It's just full of character with the paw and open mouth. Really nice detail and sharpness. I agree with the suggestions above, particularly to tone down the brighter spots in the fg. This is one to print big and hang on the wall.
TFS,
Rachel
So... you saved THE BEST for last, Sanjeev! :bg3: Congratulations!
Love the pose from this leopard "in motion" , subject very alive and I find the angle quite flattering, nice clarity to the face and that paw in the air adds so much to this image!
You must be so pleased with this - I certainly am, what better feeling than to enjoy what you have captured, and to have us all enamoured with your lovely subject?
Well composed, good choice of DOF, the leopard really stands out from the image and that BG is superb. You blew me away with this, I hope you realise the expectations I have for your future images:)
Kind regards,
wonderful playful feel, and great to have all the necessary in pin sharp focus.

Lovely image Sanjeeve. The light and shadow makes this an interesting image and the dynamic pose conveys motion. Beautiful eye contact. The OOF leg gives more depth. I'm OK with the FG, but agree with Morkel to reduce the brightest white a hair. I'd also suggest cropping a sliver on top to bring the eye a little higher on the frame. I had my doubt on the 7D2, but you showed here that there is no issue with sharpness. Well done. Loi
Awesome Sanjeev. :cheers:
Loi, it's a killer image with great light, well timed and super clarity with excellent techs, however I want to see it at ISO3200 and with more challenging light to really see how it compares.Quote:

Hi Sanjeev yet another killer frame from your Leopards :bg3: , i love this one as i did love other ones too .
All coming together for making this a wonderful image .Lovely detail , color and light . Superb action / behavior .
I am really surprised that you got away with this slow SS and not having very obvious motion blur ?
I might only burn the HL in the FG and i might try to give the HL in the subject a bit more " form" , just a thought !
TFS enjoyed viewing this image , Andreas
Hi Sanjeev
Why did you not post this earlier!
Love the pose and comp..(with the paws..LOL)
Agree with Morkel to tame them hot whites a bit.
AWESOME...
WOW! Very nice one :)
