Lovely image Praveen. Nice eye contact. By continously looking at the pattern on its body one gets a feeling of the spots moving. Thanks for sharing.

Stunner.In the open, love the pose and eye contact. Some pedigree dogs take a pose like this at dog shows at a signal of the master. Have you got the trick going with leopards praveen???:D

Remarkable image of an equally remarkable predator.What a pose full of confidence.Chief attraction to me is the tail.I just think as if you are guiding a fresher how to measure the length of a leopard (or a tiger).Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Lovely head turn and eye contact. Its great that you got it in the open and also on the ground. How much is the crop and from which side? I think some more space would have been fine. Thanks for sharing.

Nice stare. Some light on the face would have made this fantastic.

Cheers,

Thanks guys for the comments.
Mrudul I have very less space on the left, however cropped from all side a bit, have more space on right. I agree it more space would have been better.
Roopak I wish I had the pedigree trick;), unfortunately it works only with dogs:)

Very good pose and image.

lovely image & eye contact.

Wow, looks like it posed for you :001_smile:

Very well done.

More space at the bottom than now may have been better.

Cheers
