Timbavati Leopard

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

This female leopard was lying flat and resting when we slowly approached her, I was excited and hoping that she wakes up and allow some nice shots. Thats exactly what she did. Cloned out a few grass strands in front of her. I liked the light on her and the HA and eye contact here.

Lovely image Sanjeev, well exposed and good detail. Nice PP work, love the colours, good framing and presentation-very well done, enjoyed viewing, very much!

Kind regards,

Hi Sanjeev - this looks very good with nice detail, sharpness and color. It's a little tight for me at the bottom so another possibility would be to crop to above the paw and take some off the lhs too. Just an alternative.

TFS,

Hi Sanjeev -- What a stunning leopard! Great IQ. I agree with Rachel that it seems too tight along the bottom. I would also extract a bit more detail in the fur, especially on the face. I also see a bit of a blue / cyan color cast creeping through on the whites on the leopard's side / belly. Looking forward to seeing more great images from you. TFS.

Hi Sanjeev

Love the HA and DOF and sharpness.

Agree with tad more space @ bottom, was the first thing that caught my eye...

Hi Sanjeev , cool looking leopard , very relaxed . Very nice overall tones and color/contrast .

Only the crop is .. mmhh wider or tighter would be my suggestion ..

Hi Sanjeev - great shot with a 'painterly' BG effect I really like. Good IQ and light. Super image
