A 4yr old male leopard returns to his prized baby zebra kill he made earlier in the afternoon, I left a tad of detail in the shadows here for added depth.
With this beautiful Rock Fig's natural lean, it wasn't too hard working out his angle of approach and positioned myself to enable this silhouette and early evening sky.
Having the D850's amazing DR latitude, extracting full shadow detail was a piece of cake, but kept this frame close to the RAW file, but will post another from this sequence with full shadow detail later.
Yes this works for me, a well thought out image, just a hint of detail works well. Those whiskers just add that little extra.
You said a zebra in a tree - not a large one surely - just a foal I would imagine??
Also I have been dying to ask for ages but what is a pax seat - just another term for passenger seat??
Hi Marc -- A very nice frame with the fig tree so nicely angled. I liked the simple nature of the frame and your on field craft as well. As Jon said the whiskers coming out so clearly adds to frame as well. I really liked this one.
I like it lot. The only little disappoint is about the leg in front too much cut in the siluette by the tree...But is is only a bit thing...Well done !
Hi Marc - This works very well as a silhouette. I really like the placement in the frame with the branch above and to the right. I think most of us in the field might have been tempted to have the tree trunk more to the rhs with the leopard going to the upper left but I think this works very well.
Hello Marc,
I cannot think of a better way to compose this, very nice workGreat techs too, colours look good ( love the sky) and that bit of detail also adds to the image.
Been looking at this few times over and admiring the profile of this leopard - what a beauty!
I like this as presented, many thanks for sharing!
