    A full frame image of the magnificent leopard, I shifted the frame lower to include the fore limbs. He was resting on a mound under a short tree/shrub. The light nicely illuminated his face and eyes.

    Hi Sanjeev - A very nice portrait with good dof and sharpness (those steady hands again). Any more room on the left? The branch in the urc is a distraction but not a deal breaker. Nice pp on this one too.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi Sanjeev -- You're killing me with all of these great leopard sightings, making me count down the days to June when I am next in South Africa. Lovely image with great light and sharpness; well done. I know this is FF, but I would be tempted to add some canvas and content aware fill to the left side, as the cat is very tight to the LHS.

    Hi Sanjeev, the Leopard images are super and if this is the same leopard throughout your postings, then he/she was very relaxed with your presence. Therefore I feel you had the option to move and in doing so you may have been able to get better angles to avoid certain elements, or indeed pull back to provide more room around the subject. Obviously you had the lens resting on a support and seemed other guests played ball in not moving, but I feel more SS would have been better. Nicely proceed and I like the overall colour palette.

    TFS

    Sandjeev what an amazing image,I just love the way the light lifts the leopard's face. Sandjeev i'm learning and have little post skills,but that branch top right is grabbing me and I wonder about it's removal? Beyond that, I'd be thrilled beyond belief to create an image like this!!
    TFS

    take care
