Hi Sanjeev - Looks like the light was a bit harsh too. Nice eye contact but you certainly have much better in your portfolio of leopard images.
TFS,

Hi Sanjeev, sometimes you have to accept things and something like the blade of grass may not have been visible in the viewfinder sadly? Typical colours from Bots with the grass and a classic pose. I might suggest bringing the whites back so they are less bright, it may then bring some tone there which will help???? Personally I would have gone to 800 for a bit more SS, DoF looks spot on likewise the PP, very nice indeed.
Going off Topic, but are you understanding what the 'Cases' do and how it affects the AF & Tracking, as I feel you need to grasp this bit too, for next year. I can't write reams about this, is on a one to one, but just thinking ahead and an area that is often left to 'default'.
Cheers
Steve

Steve, yes I can pull the whites back a bit. Will do so. You are right, I do leave the 'cases' to default. Will do some reading about it and will get back to you by email if I need anything. Thanks a stack!

That's fine Sanjeev, FYI between now and the end of December I'm flying around everywhere (a bit manic) so may not get back to you instantly.

Neil, on the 7D II my go to ISO is 400 and I use anything between 400-1600, where as on the 5D III I use 800 as base ISO and go up to 3200 (max 6400 or rare occ).

i think one can get along with the " factory case " , or what would you suggest for this specific frame ?
In this instance yes, providing it's the right one. All I am saying is that often this is forgotten about, but more importantly people are confused in what they do, however they are there to help you
. In all honesty there are only two I tend to use, slightly customised, with two configured for specific shooting and you can set them so easily and in the order you want too.

You are right about the endless options of the latest generation of cameras does not matter what brand , and i also think it is somehow confusing sometime .
Would you be so kind to say what cases you use ?
I bet one is #2 and the second one might be ..... initial feeling #5

The 'options' are there for specific shooting, but once you understand what they do, brake & accelerator it's quite simple.
My settings, now you know better than that Andreas, LOL.

I guess that would be the same as saying on a D800e 400 up to 1600 and on the D4s 800 to 3200...................sound about right?

Hi Sanjeev -- I agree with Rachel that you do have great leopard images but this one is worth keeping because of the lovely habitat and its colours .
TFS!
