    Now thats a real 'Don't mess with me stare'! I love the way the eyes are just above the grasses, keeps things looking natural but not distracting to the point of getting the cloning tool out. Perfect world scenario wold have been for the light to be coming from the opposite direction, but that's clearly beyond your control!

    Beautiful detail in those stunning eyes, and having the raised chin giving the 'straight down the barrel' look puts the final polish on this for me.

    Hi Sanjeev

    I really like this old chap, I guess it is he who have starred before. He is a bit rugged, but have all the charm :)


    Love this portrait, great presence, great eye contact, sharpness and nice muted colors.

    Hi Sanjeev - this works well though again I might have gone for a bit more dof to have the left side of the leopard's face sharper. You had the ss to stop down a stop or two. Nice handling of the dappled light and I also like the way he is peering over the shrub.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Great eye contact here. A little busy but works overall.. A bright blade of grass upper right seems to catch my eye... Overall I like it...
