    Default Curiosity

    Whatever species of cat, curiosity always gets the better of them, observing a Yellow Hornbill in the tree above.
    This is the 5/6 month old male Leopard cub from my earlier post here:

    Deception Valley- Kalahari. Sept 09

    C & C most welcome

    Cheers
    Marc

    Nice job on capturing his interest in the activity above. I like the empty space, I think it gives a feeling of height (if that makes any sense.) The whites seem to have a bit of a bluish cast.

    Thanks Steve
    I think your right. Have toned down the blues and increased the yellows a little.

    Marc, Beautiful pose, I especially like the eyes. If you want to play more, try running a slight warming filter over it. Deception Valley (and the rest of Central Kalahari) is still on my list.....thanks for sharing.

    Marc,
    Great image with just the right amount of look into space. Birds are not only beautiful subjects they also can be good assistants, certainly better than throwing things (no famous photographers names mentioned)

    Hi Marc: This is such a beautiful animal and those blue eyes are just amazing. I think the space at the top here works for obvious reasons. The repost looks great. Thanks again for sharing your experiences with animals that many of us don't get to see.
