Shot in extremely low light and to make it worse (read noisy) had the 7D attached to the 600 instead of the 5DIII

You nailed it there. Beautiful portrait and + for keeping a bit of habitat. Very good IQ.
My eye is drawn in nicely to the subject, love the way the branch is cradling the leopard.
Saurav,
What a pose a "classic", at this resolution the noise is really only noticeable on the BG. I would just try to reduce it using NR or just blur it a little.
This is a great leopard shot, the tree is perfect. Wonderful composition. I don't see much noise at this size.

Hi Saurav, again a very nice image, but as I mentioned on your previous image, it needs to be sRGB for web presentation, not RGB.
Good call on the overall position and framing, but would look at cropping a fraction of the LHS to give a complete hard edge using the trunk of the tee. In addition I might look at reducing the small highlights coming through on the RHS of the BKG. It's a lovely pose, face to camera and the outstretched tail, with the slight curl at the tip, something we all strive for when photographing this animal. As presented it looks a little saturated, but that might be because it's RGB, so based on 'as presented', I would look at reducing the yellow overall except for the subject, then selectively reduce the yellow within the whites of the Leopard and just adjust the Levels a fraction. Noise looks good and perfectly acceptable and based on the techs you have done extremely well.

Thanks Steve for the wonderful suggestions
I did check the "convert to sRGB..internet" option while saving for web in CS6. Somehow a yellow cast keeps coming in as soon as I do that.
I will try to PP with your suggestions again, very soon.
Hi Saurav, in the Mac Apps there is Grab, this is a great tool to take screen grabs. Go to Apps folder, scroll to the bottom, Utilities, open that and copy the Grab icon to the docking station and open the App. You can then take screen grabs. Let me know if this all works as I will ask you to take screen grabs of certain windows & email mail them to me, might be able to resolve this I think? Will PM you something to check before though.

Great capture and love the background.
I would second cropping from the left to leave on the tree.
Agree with Steve and Russell on cropping the lhs, apart from that I love the image. Well processed from the 7D, impressed.
I am somewhat perplexed by the various cropping suggestions it is unclear which side of the image has been suggested to be cropped. To my eyes at least the tree trunk makes the image perfectly balanced and framed, not only that it has nice colour and detail.
Just a sliver down the the left of the tree trunk so that the trees on the top left corner are cropped out. Not a big thing but just gives a cleaner edge.
Lovely setting and you handled the exposure well! I agree on the colour issues and the bit of noise on the BG (but this is hardly noticeable as the leopard has my full attention).
The way I understand the crop suggestion - with which I agree - is to crop very slightly from the LHS to get rid of the "sliver" of BG foliage in the top left corner, and have the left of the frame "all-tree".![]()
Hilary,
Thanks for explaining
Hi Saurav, I just wondered how you are getting on and if the you managed to resolve the Colour Profiling and slight cast in the image we discussed.
Look forward t hearing from you soon.

Thanks a bunch Steve
Been very busy with work so will try it out over the weekend and let you know.
No worries Saurav, look forward to it.
