Its nice that you sighted in the open. Lovely head turn and eye contact. The details are nice. REally lucky to get such a leopard sighting. Thanks for sharing.

Praveen sir

This image rocks! That eye contact, the pose, the dry habitat...all add to the beauty of the frame. How about lesser space at the top, may be cropping till the beginning of the small broken branch/stump on the left top of the image?

Lovely look back pose. You got it clearly in the open and it is a bonus. I love its eyes. Perhaps leopards have the most stunning eyes among animals (apart from deer?) Reducing the colour temperature a bit will strengthen the image. Somehow the head doesn't appear to be in critical focus? Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Thank you all for the wonderful comments...

Sabyasachi is there a way we can check the focus points with LR, I am aware it is done with Zoom browser tool provided by Canon, currently I have not installed it:(
Pl advice...

Praveen,
You can only see it in zoombrowser and in DPP (Digital Photo Professional) that comes along with Canon camera. No way to see it in lightroom.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi
