We were lucky to find this Leopard “hiding” in a bush, it was very hot ad you could hardly blame him.
Taken in Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe.

Beautiful portrait and great techs!
Love the details in the leopard. I may tone down some bright spots around the face.
I like that the shrubbery circles his beautiful face. Great detail.
Ken: you’ve captured great detail in the leopard’s face as well as a good pose. I particularly like how the cat is framed by he greenery. Richard
Superb detail in the leopard, Ken. I agree with Jagdeep about eliminating some of the brighter spots.
Very nice portrait with nice framing…
Very handsome cat, and such a nice complementary setting. Given the pose, I would work on getting the leopard’s head more in the right third of the image, by cropping a bit from the top and the right. This would also help eliminate some of the distracting light tones in the foliage.
