Stealth

I'd very much value your comments, critiques and ratings. Thank you.

outstanding capture, composition and dof.

Like the effect of blur, good composition

I was wondering if this a captive cat or in the wild. It looks like a cat in the undergrouth in the wild looking for food. The exposure, composition, and focus is trerrific.

Unless this is the Beast of Bodmin I guess you were at a wildlife park. If it is the B of B you could sell the shot to the Sun for a fortune! Beautiful and impressive shot. The focus is excellent and in this case the leaves give a good 'looking thro the undergrowth' feel.

Just like being in the wild. Good work.

Actually I took this shot at the Cricket St. Thomas Wildlife Park through quite a thick security mesh!! A little cloning and healing was necessary to remove some distracting signs of it being there but, on the whole, I was amazed at how little of it appeared on the shot and how sharp the leopard came out!

 

Thanks for your comments everyone! Chris

Prowling... he's looking at things. Very nice capture.

Excellent, the intense gaze of the leopard makes it look like it was taken in the wild. The only problem I have is with most shots presented there is a lack of EXIF data on; lens, camera, f-stop and shutter speed to give us newbies some idea (and appreciation) of your work.

 

That said, the composition is very good, espescially the light on the subject leopard which draws ones attention to it.

Absolutely incredible how you got this!
