Excellent Ken, great sighting, always like images of leopards on trees TFS![]()
Love the comp Ken. Nice eye contact as well. Colors look a bit oversaturated to me based on my memory of you other posts. Again lovely image

Sweeeeeeet!!! This is a dream shot for loepards Ken.....might go a bit lighter on the eyes.....but outstanding!![]()
Ken, amazing. Loved the strong comp with diagonals. Colors standing out so well because of the high-key treatment. TFS.
awesome capture
Nice clean shot and a great pose with the direct look and separation of all four legs.
Thanks for your kind comments, we were very lucky to find such a perfect subject in such a perfect tree.
Just to prove you cannot have everything going your way the light was not with us.
Todd,
Looking at it again I think you are right about this being oversaturated, probably as a result of processing on this not so perfect monitor I have in my UK office.
Peter,
The BG was really that dull, I did the TIFF back home so it is highly probable that I ran NR on it and tried to" lift "it a little
gorgeous pose and exposure Ken! just a slight yellow cast (or oversaturation as you mention), easily fixed
lovely image ken ......
Ken - this is my favorite and it is a dream shot. Well done. Btw now that I see this one, I think what was strange in the other is that the fur on the back seems to be standing up.
TFS,
Rachel
Just back home and hopefully on a better monitor, this is what it should have looked like.
