[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This shot was taken at close range; however, this is exagerated in this tight crop. I was interested in the leopard's eyes - he seemed to be reflecting on something - probably what he'd like to hunt next.

More about the leopard's eyes:
With a pupil capable of vast dilation, the leopard is able to hunt in deep darkness. Like those of other big cats, the leopard's eyes are adapted to spot movement in a horizontal plane so they can track fleeing prey. Together with an outstanding sense of smell, these characteristics make the leopard a formidable predator.

Great shot Dan, it's beautiful.
Wonderful definition to the fur and a good tight crop.
Thanks for sharing.

Maybe he was thinking about what dragging Dan up a tree would be like. You got him ritght between the eyes. Very good shot. Extremely well done

Good shot, but cropped a bit too tight IMO.
Well done.
TFS.

Great photo of the leopard Dan. And good cropping, as it does draw your attention to his eyes. TFS.

Nice close-up. Good details and sharpness.

Impressive eye details, Dan. Nice close up with some oommff. Well seen and taken.

Bonjour Dan
Le regard de cet animal est d'une grande concentration. Pas étonnant qu'il soit un si bon chasseur. Magnifique couleurs, Très beaux détails, Grande netteté.
Bravo Et merci
