Hi Rachel. Thanks for filling in for my leopards don't worry I will soon be back with them! I like the stalking approach & composition, nice habitat on display here. Colours are spot on and so is the detail. TFS.

Hi Rachel, very nice stealth look and pose of this one. Details and all is as usual great. I am tempted her to even crop mor off the RHS. To give the leopard more room to go to and let it even more "enter" in stealth the image. If you know what I mean. Will send you tomorrow a pm of what I am thinking here.
love the shot.
enjoy your eve

I like the framing with the diagonal stalk approach here Rachel, you've depicted his intent nicely, and once again making good use of the 2x tc on the 300.
Anette's crop suggestion is also worth considering.

Hi Rachel, I'm sure this young leopard is a few French fries short of a Happy meal, cannot believe the time we spent with him and to be only meters away from a a very tasty meal, oh well.
Techs, colour & detail all work nicely and agree the diagonal angle adds to the slinky movement of this subject, however I would go the opposite way and loose some off the LHS. The tree branches do not add much and I 'personally' like more of the Leopard coming into frame (as per the OP) as it creates that moving, stealth like feeling.

Hi Rachel, I like the diagonal stalking pose into the frame, and the leopards head pops nicely from the surrounding grasses. He certainly looks focussed on his meal, which you say he turned down. He must have been quite far for you to be shooting 600mm FL. Its quite a gamble in the bush which lens/FL will suit your next subject/sighting.

Thanks Stu. I definitely did a bit more switching around of lenses and tcs on this trip.
