This is really an exceptional photo. I love how you captured him looking directly at you with those beautiful greenish eyes. The colors, lighting, clarity, saturation, highlights, close cropping, sharpness, focus and overall composition are all top notch. Excellent shot. Thanks for sharing.

Everything is working for you with this shot. Your framing is nicely done and good placement of your Leopard. The eyes and the incredible details on this Leopard bring you into this beautiful photography. Superb eye clarity and such a realistic capture. Your focus is spot on and capture of beautiful natural light and stunning details. Your blurring of the background and colors makes this an outstanding photo. This is a talented and creative work and thanks for sharing!

Now that shot is just beautiful. I am now getting to see an Amur Leopard in real life/real time. You have capture the essence of the boldness it is showing. The low lighting really adds to the details and character. Just look at those eyes. Don't need techs on a shot like this. Thank you for sharing.

    Yay!!! Thank you very much. I am glad you are pleased with the view of the entire face! Thank you for the six star rating too -wow :)

    You have to admit this is a far better shot. Just so much more reality then the other.
reply by the author on 16-Apr-2017
    True! I do really like the tight, up close, in their face shots too though - obviously the closer the better, lol - but I do see where you are coming from and I agree that it is nice to get a full view of their beauty as well.

Now this is one Outstanding portrait. That piercing look shows that the relaxed posture is only a ruse. That look and those eyes are completely captivating. The pinpoint sharpness and perfect background make this one of those photos that will no doubt make it's way as a framed image in the most discriminating of locations. Fabulous work Grace ~ Steve

Wow, Grace, just Wow!

Your Leopard is just stunning.

Love the eyes and the way the fur appears here. Almost poetic to a fault.

Nice job on that background as well. Kudos my friend.

A very nice shot with a great warm color palette. The cropping is perfect and I like the eye contact. The detail in the face is excellent and I like the softened background.
