Amelia: The two tree trunks and his body all in parallel make for an interesting composition and angle.  Sharp focus too.  Nice shot.  (Hope you didn't get too close.)  Alan.

Amelia,  This is a leapord short for me that captures the skin pattern and animal posture very well.  The photograph is sharp providing good details on the skin and the parallel alignment with the tree trunks is providing a good composition.  Unlike other shots, where animal eyes are facing camera, this side posture, in my opinion, shows the softer side of the big cat.  Very nice shot.

Thank you very much for your comments - this shot was a result of patience (something I seldom have)... waited a very long time for him to decide to move from his comfortable spot in the tree.
