Hi Rachel, lovely morning light and ambience in this image. The mood is so well displayed and the back-lit subject stands out nicely. Nice techs as well. TFS. Look forward to more from your trip.

I like it Rachel, I think you have captured the ambience very well indeed. I bet you were a little frustrated she was walking slightly away from the camera but nevertheless a fine image.

Hi Rachel, sadly these type of images leave me cold, as they always appear unexposed and washed out, albeit that it's faithful to the scene. Like Jon, I also find the fact the Leopard is going away from you which not ideal, and so I would have moved the vehicle so the Leopard is coming towards you rather than away, makes for more of 'engaging' image IMHO. Perhaps cropping an inch off the foot would remove the brighter HL's as I know you don't like to clone.
Glad you had a good trip.
TFS

Thanks everyone. Steve - easier said than done to reposition because she was constantly weaving between the bushes not walking on a road or in a straight line.
Thanks again,
Rachel

Rachel, I really like the soft backlit ambiance you have captured. Makes me want to be there. I agree a bit of FG cleanup might help, and certainly a little head turn in your direction would have been icing on the cake, but to my eye it's a handsome image I would love to have.

I have recently developed appreciation and liking for this kind of moody images and this is a very good example of the same. I am headed to Kenya next month and am hoping to capture such moody images. Loved it. TFS.

Love how the whole image glows. You must have been pretty close here. The composition is nice. Cool you got to see her again.
