Was this from your recent trip Steve ? I like Marmite I find the eyes utterly entrancing ,there's a dot of black in the lower eye (not the pupil) that amazingly I find distracting : I think it's because the upper eye is so strong and detailed one is drawn to stare at them both and wonder what's going on behind...even though you have told me I'm drawn to what she's thinking. I'm not terribly bothered by the oof veggies part of the surroundings LLHC.
I think it's beautiful Steve ,I also don't think I've ever seen a leopard image quite like it, ...............really well done.

No Stu, recent trip was far colder, look further down the list of postings, however I will post something on Thursday from the recent trip.

Big cats can suffer from all manner of things, some natural, some from fights or encounters with other big cats, but as this is natural I feel it should stay.

Nothing you can do and as you say, it's not that limiting.
Stu, I have and will be posting some stuff to think on and 'perhaps' make folk think when they are out in the field, will it work, who knows.

Not perfect but this is a really strong image, I have rolled the pane up and down the computer screen several times and every time I immediately zoom in on the eye followed by the cat's whiskers. The OOF leaf or whatever it is on the nose is a little unfortunate but the eye, whiskers and fur more than hold my attention. I know this is repetitive but again you payed great attention to detail optimising sharpening and revealing detail in the dark spots.
I'm not keen on marmite - much rather have a pint, but I am keen on the image, it's a hum dinger.

Hi Steve, its all about the EYE here and its so sharp and detailed that one forgets the minor nits of OOF twigs and tightness of the frame. A finely processed image with that gaze making this work well. TFS Steve.

Looks like you did very well in this situation. The detail looks great. Nice view of that eye the little squiggly line is very neat. Is iso 250 a typo? Is that suspose to be 2500? Framing is nice as well.

Love that eye but not that stick. I'd have gotten on the tripod and went 1000mm and a high ISO :)
with love, artie
