What an elegant portrait of this beautiful animal, Adrian!
Makes me think of my childhood days when there were leopards in the Himalayan valley I come from. Sadly, they are almost wiped out now, thanks to poaching and bad wild life governance.
Thanks for sharing it and take care.

What a beautiful picture, Adrian!!!
I've been gone on a short trip and i was looking forward to seeing what shot you were posting now. I have to say it is better than i thought it would be. And better not as an image, but better as a feeling:) Your message to Monika is really visible through this picture. There is simply no point in talking about the image itself becasue it is flawless. Very, very well done.
Bravo and TFS

Thank you Adrian :-)
This is a lovely gift. Could be for my birthday too, it will be very soon :-)
I absolutely love this picture. I would equally love it even if it wasn't for me :-)
First of all a beautiful big cat. I'd like to have an occasion to photograph them someday. The next thing I adore here is his pose and the POV. It's an exceptional picture and I'm very happy you dedicated it to me :-)

PS. I have a new cam for few days already. It's time to post something on TN. I hope you will find some time to tell me what do you think. Now the excuses that I can't control DOF are gone, so you can pick as many nits as you want ;-)

Hello Adrian,

Wow! Another awesome picture from you, my friend! I don't know what this Leopard is looking at but it surely looks delicious ;-) You managed perfectly the exposure! You got a great pov and did a wondeful composition although in my opinion a little bit less crop in order to see the whole whiskers will be better (but not a big deal at all!). The nice blurry bg enhance very well the animal!!! Great picture, good for National Geographic!!! TFS,

Michel

Hallo Adrian,

It's good to see new photos in your portofolio! This is another work of art you've achieved and with your permission it will go straight to my favorite list. I've searched in vain for any minor flaws. I wasn't able to find any. Everything is perfect, both artistically and technically. I almost feel bad it wasn't dedicated to me :)! I think it's a very nice present for a graduation. The note is also very well written! Thanks for sharing!

Regards,
Eddie

Hi Adrian, this is really lovely. There is something about the exposure that really makes this shot stand out. It's sharp, detailed and the cat's expression is terrific: I wouldn't want to be the subject of such an intense gaze from a big cat! Really nicely done :)

I just ran across this one. What a beauty! That's one amazing expression! It looks like she's tracking some potential prey. The light is very dramatic, too, especially the way it lights her whiskers. Perfect level of blur (DoF) on the bg.
