Hi guys,
This is an old image that I took a while ago and I always hoped it would be great. But I've really struggled with processing it and making it look correct. It's a hard situation because it was in some shade and some sunlight and the background was pretty difficult. But the flowers are a nice touch and the leopard's pose is good, so I hope that the collective minds of this forum might be able to do something with it! The Sausage tree leaves really are that green by the way! Any comments welcome.
This is a 16:9 crop from a 2:3 image (so the rest of the tail is available if you want it, but the background below is not very interesting which is why I cut off the bottom).
7D
300mm f4 @ f5.6
ISO 200
1/125s
Quite a lot of processing done already including WB, selective colour adjustment, contrast management. I intentionally overexposed because I knew that I'd need more detail in the darks of the leopard face, than the lights of the background.
Will post original RAW as a JPEG if anyone wants.
Thanks in advance.
Ed
