Super shot Ken. I love the whisker detail.
Lovely portrait of the leopard and really like the intense stare. I have one comment though about the background as I find my eye is constantly drawn to the very bright blue of the sky piercing through the leaves. I know that is how it was, and it is the only down side to the image for me. I would probably have cloned out the tiny highlight on the top of the head. Of course, that is assuming I ever had the opportunity to get such a good and clear leopard study! :D
Super sharp and the startled expression is really cool! I would consider removing the very bright branches right of the leopard's face.
Excellent job, Ken. The intense look is wonderful, and the light was handled very nicely!
Wow this is a beauty. Love the intense and alert pose and the eye contact is awesome as well as excellent exposure and composition. Fine work.
Stunning stare. Maybe a bit more contrast but otherwise a very pleasing image.
Cannot wait for next month when I return to Africa.
