January 21st, 2008 at 7:15 amWhere on Earth was this shot?
This leopard looks a like it could use a good meal.
I’m surprised how close you seem to have gotten to it.

January 21st, 2008 at 7:15 amI like this very much. Really like the stance of the leopard and the light on her face, the shape and texture of the tree she is pearching on. The bright sky is a bit of a distraction (which may be easily fixed in Photoshop).
Well, “siting with” a leapord isn’t exactly my Idea of Bonhomie!!
) Did you even have a heart to heart 
Back to being serious - great patience, richly rewarded

January 21st, 2008 at 8:38 amBeautiful shot with terrific lighting. The colours all blend superbly. The light on the leopards face draw the eye to what is the main focal point. The shaping of the tree forms a perfect frame. This is a seriously good shot which has greatly rewarded your patience and skill. I can sense the adrenalin rush you must have experienced. Congratulations on a stunner.
