Leopard

[Harshad Barve]

Dear All
Made this image with D300, 600MM, ISO 200, F4, 1/40, beanbag after full sunset
My self critique is , I should have boosted ISO & dialed down F stop

All C & C are most welcome and much appreciated

Nice one Harshad. After the sunset and at 1/40 you have a great image. Love the eye contact here.

Cheers,

Love the eye contact. I may warm the colors a bit and add a bit of saturation.

[Katie Rupp]

Love the eye contact and the bit of tongue...I would be tempted to take a little off both the top and bottom to make a pano-look.

[Chris Kotze]

Yep great eye contact. A super pose and colours.

[Tell Dickinson]

Very nice Harshad, especially for 1/40, good eye contact and he looks like he is eyeing you up for supper :)

Nice eye contact. The hint of the tongue is good too. Where was it? Dialled down f stop? I think it would be better to increase the shutter speed by increasing ISO.

Cheers,

Easy done in the excitement Harshad. Fine image all the same with good eye contact. WD!

impressive shot Harshad Bhai - your leopards do look slightly different from their Southern cousins.
it's very sharp for 1/40 after sunset, great steady hand! I wonder if a bit less space all around (in other words, tighter crop) wouldn't lift this image?
