This is a fantastic shot! Love the light and warm colours. Would get rid of one catchlight and brighten up the bottom to get at least some details in it.

Brendon - another beautiful leopard shot. There's an intensity to the stare and the tongue out is a bonus. Nice colors and sharpness. Was this both a spot and a flash or just spot?

TFS,
Rachel

[Brendon Cremer]

Thanks very much guys, Ofer will give that a bash! Rachel it was just spotlight

Man the ops for Leopard images in the Sands is great...Very nice colors and pose

[Robert Amoruso]

Well done impressive look to the image. I do find the light drop-off at the feet unbalances the image.

[Stan Cunningham]

From my perspective I would not lighten it too much as his face seems to be framed. Very powerful.

[Marc Mol]

Superb use of the spot light here Brendon, small nit is some light on the feet, great facing comp and framing.

Here is a quick repost with some selective brightening of the feet, left leg, back and bottom of BG.
Edit: I think I should have removed the other catchlight instead....

[Paul Taylor]

This is a great spotlight image. The stare and tongue really make it. Impressive work.

[Brendon Cremer]

Thanks very much everyone, its very much appreciated, Ofer that works great, like the added detail

[Arthur Morris]

Both spectacular. Anything special about the spotlight considering how natural the color balance???

[Morkel Erasmus]

I love the lighting here Brendon, and cool pose/look to the leopard!
I too feel that Ofer's repost bringing out more detail upfront works well...
