Although the image with a tight crop is very impressive this larger profile is very appealing. I just love big cats be they Lions, Tigers, Leopards, Cheetahs but regrettably I can only see them Zoos. Great camera techniques - a pleasure to view.

Thank you! I only get to see them in zoos too. I'm not sure how safe I would feel otherwise though!

Great shot of this sassy looking Leopard. The detail is fabulous. Great natural color as well. It is of course the cat that captures me perfectly. Wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

Great looking shot!. Fine example of wild life photography. Your timing appears to be perfect and you have captured the intense look on the leopard's face very well.
Well done!

An impressive, eyeCATching portraiture with that steely gaze as if saying softly, "Why are you focusing that camera on me?!?"
Monochromatic image with Fine, detailed facial features & smooth spotted textures.

Compact framing.
Subdued lighting.
Pin sharp focusing.
Nice perspective & narrow DOF.
Thanks for sharing...

Comment from supergold
I think I prefer this one because one can see more of this wonderful cat; clearly darker than their African brothers;
an excellent capture Grace;

A beautiful close up shot of leopard. He seems to let you photograph his cute pose. Very clear and sharp.

Well done and thanks for sharing.

Outstanding!

Camera settings are spot on beautiful.

Color saturation is on the mark as well.

DOF brings all the important aspects of the big guy into sharp focus.

Your framing of this big cat is wonderful. I love the pose - Ya man just hangin out.

Very well done ... B-)) Bob

Beautiful animal. I like this composition very much. The soft background, the placement of the head, the slanted rock - it all comes together to make this appealing. The eyes seem to be staring right into the viewer.
