What a beautiful cat - gorgeous.

Did you by any chance shoot through a fence - just curious.

awesome shot fozz.
if you can somehow crop out some of the left without losing too much of the aspect i think it would look cleaner.

Fozzie you have done well,we all know what a crappy enclosure this cat is in and how hard you have to work to get it in that little patch of light..

CD - shot through a semi black painted fence. Taken just after opening, with light cloud cover, so that made it easier.

Rooz - this is an un-cropped shot. IMO cropping the left hand side would destroy the aspect for me.

Excellent shot!

That leopard could do ballet - notice the daintily pointed toe on the front foot.

Good work. :)
