I am now beginning to wonder whether my monitor has gone on the blink, this looks to be well short of sharp.

Good image under the circumstances, Leopards in trees are nearly always very difficult.

Ram,

Just checked again and it is sharp, apologies to you for the strange behaviour of my monitor/computer.

Great sighting and pose. I am finding the oof foliage a little distracting and wonder if it can be toned down.

TFS,
Rachel

Like the comp/framing here Ram, with nice eye contact, but not sure if required USM will improve here?
OOF foliage is also distracting.
