    Hi Sanjeev -- nicely composed and the light is very good. details are very good along with a beautiful pose , certainly a lower POV would have lifted it to another level . TFS !

    Hi Sanjeev - I like the stalking pose with the raised paw and the comp. Colors and processing both look great.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Really like the spot light on the head and position of the leopard... BG and FG not so much.. A bit of a crop of the bottom and right side of the frame may help minimize the distractions.

    Love the intensity you captured here of the stalking leopard. The front foot up is a great detail. I'm with Robert that the foreground & background are distracting. Not sure what to do since that is the reality. Maybe cropping some as mentioned or even a tighter vertical crop would put all the attention on the leopard. I suppose those dark spots around the leopard are flies, but they look more like spots that you could easier clone away. I leave later this week for my African adventure with leopards. Hope to see them as intimate as this one!

    Hello again Sanjeev!

    A lower POV would have made you a perfect target for this lovely stalking leopard, LOL!

    What an awesome sighting my friend! Agree with Dale above on a closer crop, otherwise I am happy with this, well exposed and nicely processed, if this were mine I would perhaps drop exposure slightly (and selectively) on the subject's face, below the leopard's left eye it looks a tiny bit hot. Not easy to deal with those lighting conditions but I think you have done extremely well, I would have been in 7th heaven if I came back from my last trip with a frame like this, so congrats Sanjeev! Nice and sharp and that raised paw is superb, great pose and expression from the leopard!

    Kind regards,

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea
