Alan,

Stunning shot, the depth of field is just right to get the whole head in focus, yet keep the body out of foucus. Gives the head an almost 3D effect.

Iinitially wondered about the stick top left but on balance I loike it as it adds atmosphere rather than distracts.

Well done

Phil

Hi Alan,
I like this portrait of a leopard.
The harmony of the colors is very interesting and the framing is very good.
In my opinion, the stick on the top left is distracting.
You captured the perfect moment since the look of the leopard and its body are both in the frame.
The sharpness is excellent.
Bravo !
Amicalement,
Michaël

Hi Alan, A stunning shot, dof is excellent with the body oof. She's a beauty.
I (personally) find the branch distracting and would also prefer her facing the other way so have done a quick ws (hope you don't mind).
Thanks for posting.

Amazing DOF here Alan, I love the sharp focus on the face although he looks like he's had a pint too many of Guinness! LOL!

Great capture!

Your friend from the land of fake Irish pubs,

Great post of your by-now famous snow leopard. I really like the way the head stands out in such sharp details against the blurred body. A very beautiful head with a pensive expression. Well done and TFS. : )

In Poland rainy days are sometimes called "English weather". Reading your notes I think it makes a lot of sense ;)
I love to see photos of this beauties, so the crappy wheather in UK have some good sides ;)
The shot have perfect POV and composition, superb details and lighting.
VERY WELL DONE!
