Hi Rachel, this I really like, I loved 'Topsi Turvey', but this one...
Firstly, being on an diagonal gives a very strong composition, but then the pose of the leopard with the front paws/legs splayed out, eyes fixed, neck slightly tilted just conveys the curious nature of this cub. What was he/she looking at? Personally I would change anything, although being away I can really tell on the conversion/tint, but I'm sure others will hopefully chime in. One of your strongest images to date IMHO.

Thanks Steve for the very kind comments. I think the cub was just staring at the ground and trying to figure out if he was still too high to just jump down. The tree trunk was fairly wide and he seemed to be a little unsure of the best way down.
Thanks again,
Rachel

Rachel, would agree with Steve that this is a good strong image, love the pose of the leopard and the strong diagonal composition.

Another terrific Leopold photo, Rachel.
It has a dramatic quality to it, a stalking pose and terrific comp and sharpness.
Very nice.

Hi Morkel, thanks very much for the compliment. I would have never played with the sepia toning without your recent series. I tried the 5% burn of shadows and midtones and do like it, especially on the tree.
Thanks again,
Rachel

Rachel,
Like every thing about it. Wish the tree is little less dominant. Perfect color tones and excellent details.
