Whats not to like here Andreas? Fantastic close up and with the kit and processing skills the sharpness just jumps off the screen at you - it must look superb at full resolution.
Around the cheek area does look a little brighter tan I was expecting with early morning light, but that may just be the colouring of this particular individual.
I have a feeling there may be a few more stunners from this session!
Hi Andreas, a good 'stock' portrait of a Leopard. Great detail in the eye which is key to the shot and just the right amount of DoF. BKG is pleasing without any distracting elements. The 'blacks for me are a tad heavy, personal tastes, but certainly in the eye it does mask some finer detail which you can tease out. It's the little things that make the difference.
Thanks Steve for your comment , much appreciated .
Agree with you about the blacks , as you say matter of taste and that they mask some finer detail at times . Might have masked the eyes a fraction , will try to keep that in mind .
Hi Andreas — what a cracking image , I simply loved everything abt it. Terrific details and that BKG is so clean and good. Simply enjoyed viewing this fantastic Leopard image.
