Black Leopard
This female has arrived at Hamerton. This place rescues animals from all over the world, mainly endangered species, and they breed when they can.

A couple of old photos taken while the Amtrak was stopped - somewhere in Colorado, I think?
(And yes, I like that the vertical leans!)

I've photographed Ady a few times now. We get better each time as a team. This image was a fave from our latest session. I hope you like it to.

Horseshoe Bend is amazing. I was so glad I made the effort to go out there on our holiday.
There's a weird black spot near the bottom left edge, like the photo has been clipped. Also I'm not a huge fan of the discoloration in the water at the bottom (a lens flare, I think). One more small thing, there seem to be a few dust spots near the top of your image, so it might be worth cleaning your sensor, if you haven't already.
Other than that, you can't really go wrong in an iconic spot like this. Nice work.
Thanks for your valuable thoughts. This is 3 images pano stitched. I might have missed that blackspot. I am not well proficient in photoshop to remove lens flare in water. i will try to work on it. Thanks again.
It looks nice with snow. Your recover work on sky is not exactly the best. If there are no details in the highlights, it is impossible to restore them with a darkening, only the proper exposure helps.
Glad you got to see northern AZ with snow! I live here and i haven't seen horseshoe with snow yet, although I've seen Sedona with snow a number of times now and it's more breathtaking each time. We even got a dusting in scottsdale last week! wild.
I would crop in the left side a little bit since the rock isn't centered with this current crop. I'd also add some more contrast and brighten the sky a little bit. Otherwise, bravo for catching the rare sight of Page with snow!
