Here is another Leopard image from my trip to South Africa. This was taken in near dark with our tracker shining a spot light on the ground right next to the Leopard.
What technical feedback would you like if any?
What artistic feedback would you like if any?
All comments are appreciated!
It has a bit of noise due to the low light and high ISO. I need to get a better noise reduction tool.
Pertinent technical details or techniques:
D850, ISO 3200, 70-200 at 200, f5.6, 1/640 sec in aperture priority, hand held
(If this is a composite, etc. please be honest with your techniques to help others learn)
Used Topaz Suite for sharpening, noise reduction in Lightroom

I love the lighting your tracker provided, Steve. It makes for a very compelling image. While there’s some noise, I don’t find it objectionable. You might want to consult @David_Schoen on noise reduction. He’s been doing some astounding things lately.
Love the spot-lit leopard!
The light is beamed from a nice angle resulting in the right mix of warm and cold colors. Also like the beaming eye of the leopard.
