Certainly a different POV from the standard.
I do like the pose and obviously the ideal angel would have been lower, however not practical under these circumstances. :D:D Again, the sharpness & clarity doesn't look as good as it could be Vivaldo, especially on the head. Also, is that a wound on the neck we can see?

Post Production: It’s ALL about what you do with the tools and not, which brand of tool you use.
Thanks Steve, this old male was full of wounds and cuts. He also lots his right eye if I remember correctly. Lower angle would make for some exciting photography :icon7:
Certainly would do, with some impressive shots no doubt Vivaldo. Just make sure someone can retrieve your camera afterwards, LOL. :DLower angle would make for some exciting photography
Thanks for the info about the Leopard, anything like this is very useful to the reader/viewer so please feel free to add it in with your OP next time, it is most welcome. :)

Very intersting view Vivaldo. Good points made by Steve.

Really like the spotlight effect. He looks like he's seen better days though and this image makes me think he won't be getting up (although he probably did). Despite the eye and neck wound, he doesn't appear to be in too bad of shape.
The light here plus your darkening of the BG gives an interesting effect, but seems to me to accentuate the lightness of the body in certain areas. A little sharpening could assist, nice Leopard though, always a pleasure to see outside of a tree.
Thanks again for commenting:)
Interesting iamge Vivaldo
thanks again for looking![]()
certainly a different angle here Vivaldo...does look like he's seen a few battles in his life.
where was this taken? I like how he stands out from the dark BG
the tyre tracks in the front are unfortunate but we all know how the cats love our traversing roads :D
