WOW, was I lucky to get this shot!
She was attacked by a collegue leopard and she was kind of showing her submissiveness...
all in all a very impressive moment.

I had to lighten the pic up a bit, coz it was pretty dark (shot at 8/1000)
and I cropped it a little

Animal image captured in a perfect moment. I miss some light but it's a nice work.

Enric.

Hi Anneke,

Great leopard portrait! You've captured it in a very impressive pose, but it lacks light and contrast. I made a WS for you. I hope you don't mind. :)
Well done!

Very impressive shot indeed, Anneke. I have to agree with Constantinos about the lack of light & contrast and I think he did a very good job in the workshop to bring out all of the beauty of your picture. Otherwise, good composition & great capture. Well done!

Anneke
Lucky you. Good dof show the face in extreme detail.

Well done, a super result even if a little dark. Love the whiskers! Tim

Hallo Anneke uit Hoorn ^_^
Anneke.. mooie sterke opname en zeer scherp. Compliment. Een vraag.. het is gebruikelijk dat we altijd de plaats invullen waar de foto genomen is. Dus bijv: In ZuidAfrika of in de Antwerpse Zoo, ik denk niet in Hoorn zoals je boven aangeeft, daar woon je !?
Zie je mijn punt? Als er in Hoorn een dierentuin is en je hebt daar dit genomen dan zeg ik netjes ; sorry.

Nogmaals ik vind de foto erg goed! Compliment en puntjes komen snel. Groet uit Den Haag

This is indeed a great shot! What an expression; you shot it at just the right moment. I'm curious how it looked before you cropped it. I get the feeling you've cropped it just a little too much. But hey! Who's complaining? I wish I made it! Big compliments!

Strength of body and mind. Beautiful and savage creature!

WOW, what a wonderfull shot, Anneke. She has such lovely whiskers and one can see the detail of her teeth clearly. These leopards can move at the speed of light, and they usally rips off a human victims scalp. Nice picture and TFS.
Groet,
Hannes
