Hi Annick,
A great portrait!
The focus and sharpness on the animal's head are so good, as well as enjoyable the level of details achieved on its amazing fur.
I like the framing and the way you composed this image.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.

Hi Annick,
Wow what a capture, the detail is stunning and the f2.8 has produced a narrow d.o.f which highlights the head and eyes, then tapers off down the body, just brilliant, excellent composition, all the best Cheers Rick :)

Ha Annick,

Prachtige maar ongeinteresseerde blik heeft ze in haar ogen.
Perfecte focus op de kop(ogen), prima gedetaileerd
uitstekende compo, POV, DOF en pose
schiterende vacht tekening

Hi Annick, Beautiful shot of this leopard. The color and detail is super as well as composition. The cats expression is kind of humorous. Somewhat bewildered looking. TFS

Hello Annick!
What a cracker!
The expression on his face is superb!
Very, very sharp with superb clarity.
Excellent composition and a brilliant eye-level POV.
Natural colours.
I love the way his ears are pointed in different directions.
Well done,
Joe

Hello Annick,
Well my friend this is magnificent in my opinion. I am drawn by her sleepy looking eyes, the wonderful pattern and colors of her fur and those long whiskers. She is listening behind and in front indicating she is nervous. What a glorious capture of a very special meeting. Fantastic job Annick.

Hi Annick

Wow - superb close-up - with amazing detail - the eyes in particular. How much did you crop? Did you take this from the Corolla?

James

PS How did you get your 400 to SA? Main luggage? Do you use the hard case (the handle came off mine [& it was brand new] at the top of the stairs going down to luggage collection in Nairobi airport - it hit every step then slid along the floor and hit the wall - it was ok though)

Hallo Annick,
Het houdt maar niet op met die schitterende foto's. Wat een perfectie weer. De diepte en scherpte kunnen volgens mij niet beter. Prachtige compositie.
Groet en prettig weekend,

Hello Annick,
Despite the big crop this fine image of a female Leopard is pretty noiseless and sharp. Great pose and eye-level POV.
Excellent capture of one of the Big Five and thanks for sharing it.

Hi Annick

Sorry for the big delay, but i had internet problems and i also left town today for a while :(

You know just how much i love this one...
I think i understand how difficult it is to even see a leopard in the wild, but to get away with such magnificent shots, it's truly a blessing :)
Outstanding portrait, one with impeccable details, colors and facial expression from the nice mama :)
I've seen lots of zoo-photos of leopards that don't have this feeling...

Bravo and TFS

second time this week i have seen a great shot of a leopard..last one was in kruger
this is a really close event and purely sharp
blasted background really helps to support the image and set out its clarity and sharpness
