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!)

Leopard spots and high heels
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.

Just a heads up for anyone that may be interested (and as things are slow in the group.....).

What would make this shot better or how would you have shot this differently?
Hi David! I like the composition (don't always say that!) and the concept. One thing that strikes me is a certain harshness in the stark blue vs. yellow-brown contrast. The vivid blue makes it a bit postcard-y, but the bleak wintry landscape then disappoints.
Unless you want to convey harshness - and it's OK if you do, IMHO - then I'd desaturate the whole image, and just on a creative impulse, I'd consider warming the colour balance to create a ?painterly look. I append a very quick rendition echoing this, perhaps overdone.
I think there's a dust spot in the sky at top, and think you've got a fair bit of chromatic aberration (hard to tell at this res). Technical bugs never help... :-)
Just my (very subjective) take.
