Self Critique
I feel composition is the strength of the photo. The weakness is its noise. It is primarily due to the early hour of the day and the distance. I will request members to suggest how to reduce noise.
Creative direction
I was charmed by the movement and the grace which the leopard was carrying. She appeared to be master of all she was observing. If I am able to convey my feelings that would be the success of making this photo. The message I want to convey is that preserving these beautiful creatures should be our duty.
Jawai, Rajashthan, India is considered as Leopard capital in India. In a small area there are more than 45 leopards. I was in safari jeep lookning for a good photo of leopard. Suddenly, Padma a female leopard appeard from behind a shrub. Her actions were majestic. She appeared to be making judgment of the area around her.
A great shot Surendra, I really like your choice of a very wide format, it gives a sense of where she is looking and heading. The foreground vegetation is quite dominant but her position in the frame allows thew viewer to look through this as if observing from a distance (as you were).
I do see quite a strong magenta cast, mainly in the background and foreground rocks. You could probably reduce this quite easily in a good photo-editor.
Thanks for the feedback. The colour is primarily due to the colour of rocks and some adjustments in Lightroom.
Having said the above, I will revisit the photo and try to improve. In future, I will keep this aspect in mind.
HI Suredra
This is really a great photograph. The pano framing helps to give the viewer a sense of perspective. I think the noise you were referring to may be motion blur, because of the slow shutter speed. Nice work.
