    Default Leopard cooling off!

    I hope you are not bored of my leopard on a tree series! Here is another one. A different angle, we went around the tree (off road & we were real close to her) to the other side to get better lighting.

    Hi Sanjeev - You handled the mixed light well and have good sharpness and dof. I wish the shadow was not across the eyes. Btw if you lightened the eyes I would back off on the lightening a little because they are in shadow.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Great shot, Sanjeef (who can ever get tired of leopard shots?)! Nice crop & detail. I support Rachel's comment re. the eyes - they just look a little too bright, but a beautiful shot regardless.

    Very nice Sanjeev.
    I wish the head wasn't in shadow and that your shooting angle had been a little less steep but this is the bush and this is where we see leopards so
    I still appreciate and enjoy the image.
    The branches area bit distracting and I might be tempted to evict a few branches around the head ( the thick one coming out of the ear in particular) and the few scraggly ones around the feet.
    That would clean up the image a bit without taking away from the natural environment.

    Hi Snajeev,

    very nice image of this cat. I would leave the eyes as they are, they pop at tad and grab more attention, well for me. Shade is shade, but not a major thing for me :)

    have a great eve

    Ciao
    Anette
