    Default Crouching Leopard

    Hi All,
    This is another of my fave images from OD, Botswana. I loved the way he was intently watching warthogs walking by and he seems to have dropped a pin on one of them as his target! He then slowly moved out and gave one of them a good chase. Thanks for your feedback and comments on my earlier images. I hope my leopard series isn't a drag!

    Hi Sanjeev - For me this is one of the best of your leopard images. The comp works well, colors look good and you handled the dappled light very well.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Lovely looking frame Sanjeev. The details on the leopard look real good, and I love the pose. BG and FG fit well. Thanks for sharing

    Love this one with the golden light falling on the leopard's face and the intense stare. Lovely colors. I'd suggest cropping a little more on the right and top to lessen the imapct of the tree. Love the way the tree framing the leopard. Loi

    Sanjeev, I like everything about this and it is my favorite of the Okavango Leopard images you've posted. I really well done collection. I'm envious (in a good way, of course)!

    Cheers,

    Katie

    Hi Sanjeev
    Very impressive image, the low POV really adds to the impact on the viewer.
    Pose with intense look in eyes works.
    And you had golden light to work with!
    Stunner!

    (agree with Andreas re the tree.....?)
    Regards

    Andre.

    Hi Sanjeev, like the alert pose and position in frame. Just a thought, but a 16x9, loosing some off the top and more on the left may also offer another alternative.

    This rocks! Love the framing of the leopard by the branch, the low POV and the key lighting on the subject.
    Steve's crop suggestion is well worth investigating...
