    A leopard caught in mid-yawn at OD, Bots. Hope this is 'exciting' enough!

    Nice expression here, with pleasing dappled light.
    It's a tad tight at the bottom - for the purpose of the theme I might have cropped even tighter, focusing on the details of the face?

    Hi Sanjeev - Your rp is much more theme appropriate. I might crop a sliver more from the bottom to make the cut off paw seem more deliberate. Colors and pp look good.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Been waiting for this, Sanjeev!!!

    I take it the previous post was only a tease - well done, you keep me glued to the screen every night, LOL

    Despite the sparse light you exposed beautifully, and you got away with slow-ish SS, despite movement from the subject.

    I love the RP, it gives you this intimate view of the leopard, IQ is there, good details, I would just follow Rachel's advice regarding crop - it makes perfect sense.

    Sanjeev, I am no expert on techs and the others are welcome to correct me if I'm wrong, but just for safety sake you could have gone up on ISO here. I am extremely pleased for you because this worked out beautifully IMO, but a tad more movement and you would have lost this. Cannot tell you how much I love this capture and the PP work is great, many thanks again for sharing, and Congratulations!

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Hi Sanjeev

    This is what I feel like after a very busy day filled with difficult patients!
    The RP is much better, agree with crop suggestions.
    Well processed, handled side lighting well.
    Good advise from Gabriela, that slow S/S can bite you bad..
    Your leopard captures are amazing, you give them the admiration they deserve.
    Regards

    Andre.

    Thanks everyone. Yes I shall keep the SS issue in mind. I have gotten away many a times and am quiet pleased with the implementation of the new IS systems in the series II canon lenses and I just love to push them to the limit, that's what we paid for But agree that I need to balance SS vs ISO Vs F stop. Am having fun shooting in the field and learning here! Cheers.
