    Really like the mixture of light and shadow, with the leopards face perfectly in the light.

    I like the relaxed pose and sun falling on the face. Great sighting and image Russel.

    Russell crank up that ISO and give yourself a fighting chance. ;)

    I might just add a bit more green foliage in the BG still leaving a bit of light there around the head. Nice light and pose.

    Russell,

    Interesting to see you used spot metering, I used to do this but now rely on EV and adjust after test shot. A little to far in the shade for me.
