    I liked how the vegetation made a nice natural vignette highlighting those wonderful eyes here.
    1/160
    f/5.6
    ISO 1600
    7D II
    100-400 II @ 271mm
    The new 1-4 II lens is really nice with great IS and Sharpness & the 7D II is not bad at all at ISO 1600!!
    Cheers,
    Sanjeev

    Hi Sanjeev -- Those eyes look terrific ! lovely details and again those steady hands in play . The area below its right eye appears a tad oversharpened to me not a deal breaker though , also i would have cropped from the LHS up until the branch. One more thing the the bright spot in the BG above its head is a bit distracting , u could try burning the same .

    TFS !

    Thanks Haseeb. I overlooked the bright spot above head, thanks for pointing it out. Will take care. I kept the head & eyes in rule of thirds position hence the crop. Will re visit sharpening pull back just a tad.

    Hi Sanjeev - I like the peering through the foliage feel to this. It looks a little bright/light. I would drop the exp by .33 or even a little more. I'm ok with the comp and agree about some of the brighter spots in the bg.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi Sanjeev i also like the image concept ... this half hidden leopard with the curious look . Nicely seen and captured .
    I think you really came to limitations with the slow SS as this image does not have the critical sharpness as e.g. the previous posting .Agree with Rachel regarding the image brightness and i think it does look a bit thin but with the drop of exp you will get certainly more depth .
    I also think the image does carry a tiny bit too much of blue in the lights area , blacks do look neutral though .

    Nice one Sanjeev , TFS Andreas
