Armur Leopard
I posted this shot in a thread about Nikon lenses. Thought how much I liked this shot when I originally took it. Wondered what others thought of it.

REALLY nice!
I would be tempted to remove the two whiskers over his eye and just lighten (that eye) up a bit but I don't know if that would actually make it any better or not. |

Its a great shot. Would have been even better if the subject was looking straight into the camera.

Very nice. good colour and texture in there ! Agree it might have been a little better if looking directly at you , and those 2 lashes on the right eye are a bit of a pain.
Its spelt Amur Leopard too !  Well it is in Critique !

The two lashes on the eye are a little distracting and it's a real shame he/she is looking out of the frame BUT the quality of the shot is excellent and enough to forgive the distraction etc. Very nice sharp shot, with lovely colour.

If that was my shot, I'd be really proud of it. I actually like the fact that the leopard is looking out of the shot - it looks like it's just spotted lunch with that intent look in its eye. The only thing I'd change, as others have already pointed out, are the 2 eyelashes in the way of the right eye.

you know Chuck, the fur on this gorgeous pussy looks so soft and snuggly. You have captured the purrrfect detail without any oversharpened edges anywhere. A gorgeous natural shot, as the viewer would see it, I like the eyelashes, it shows us the leopard as he is.

Thanks for the comments. I must every time it looked at me it seemed a bit menacing and, to be honest, didn't look natural enough in the viewfinder...! I can see what you're all saying about the lashes but I think I prefer it with. Anyway, just as an example here it is after a simple depilation!

I think thats a much improved image there without the lashes.
I like the way it's looking away too, give the intent he's planning his next move

I like the shot, as is, you cant go around plucking eyebrows from wild animals eyes just because it doesn't fit into the 'perfect shot' catergory, i am sure Andy Rouse or Chris Packham would love this shot.
well done chuck

A great shot.. well done.
I also prefer it without the lashes over the eye. The only thing that bothers me is that the eyes appear to be different colours... Is that how it was or is it just the light? |

That's a fantastic shot well done
........I was at Cotsworlds Wildlife Park yesterday, but the leopards were not playing ball, they were running about everywhere to make sure I couldn't get a decent photo.
