Hi Marc - Nice pov and look at the male leopard. Interesting that he seems to have 2 different eye colors or maybe it is the way the light is hitting the eyes. The midtones and blacks seem a bit strong to me. If it were mine I would open the midtones up slightly.
TFS,
Rachel

Hello Marc ! This is an incredibly sharp image . Nice low angle here, I liked the tones here, only the purplish leaves or shrub in the BG is slightly distracting especially on the right hand side of the image.

I think this is just gorgeous...
The eyes look fine to me, I would just smooth out the BG a bit....

Lovely low angle, dappled light and intense stare here.
I like the contrast as posted, but would be keen to see the midtones opened up as per Rachel for comparison...

This was actually taken on my previous trip to SLNP in Nov, Gabriela and have just started processing my files from my last trip to Tanzania.

Good pickup on the eyes Rachel, this male did have two slightly different eye colours, his right had a more turqoise tone than his left. I agree that this downsized web jpeg has choked blacks, yet
on my processed TIFF file it is fine, not sure why that is and would pay to check my histogram before submitting. Perhaps Andreas may have an answer for this??

The purple colour in the BG is actually the beautiful flowers from the rain tree that was blooming at the time and for me add a little extra to the scene.
