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.

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

Hey There,
This is a nice one! Technically this is spot on. Exposure perfect. focus perfect. Really Well done.
I'll just add that there is a composition concept which I'll call 'space to act' that might work here. What this means is that it works well from a composition standpoint to leave space for your subject to do the next thing it would do. Take a few steps, strike at a fish, gaze into the distance, whatever. Just give the subject the space to do the next action allows the viewer to finish the story in their own minds and creates another level of interest. Sometimes, when the subject is dead center, it can come across looking like something i call and 'definition' shot as in "This is a polar bear".
These are just thoughts. I hope it makes sense. I put a screen capture with some pasted background to show when I'm talking about.
Bottom line - I'd be thrilled to get such a great shot of polar bear so Well Done!
Negative space was the rage in Japanese Portraits a few years ago and sorry but it does not work in my above work.
Here is one of mine where it does work ..
Actually it’s the same Bear
