She was fast asleep & miles away, not good even for 500+1.4x, this is a record shot. She is the mother of the young male that I have shared earlier.

The dense growth give a nice feel of the jungle. A very typical leopard sleeping pose. Its good you got the head in clear. Why -0.3 EC? I liked the mood in the image. Thanks for sharing.

I love the mood in this image. The leopard looks adorable . As Saktiji mentioned, this image is an apt portrayal of the serenity we associate with the jungle. Agree with Mrudul, why the -ve EC?
Overall a lovely image, and definitely much more than a record shot for me.

Thanks you all for the comments

Mrudul/Abhishek - since partial sun light was falling on the leopard between the leaves I thought of giving a -EC so that it gives a spot light effect, not sure if it quite worked here, however in the past I have used this technique and it has worked well.
