Amur Leopard

[SmileyShazza]

I recently went on a big cats photography day at a private conservation centre in the UK. The centre is an active member of the European Breeding programme who work to save these magnificent animals from extinction.

The Amur Leopard is the most endangered big cat on the planet. It is estimated that only 40 of these animals remain in the wild - so sad as they are such beautiful creatures

They are my favourite big cats and I was very happy with this shot I managed to get on the day.



All comments and critique welcomed

Generally excellent, only slight critique would be to perhaps retouch the eyes a little to remove the reflections and sharpen them a little.

Could you post the Exif data please?

Really good shot

Overall is a beautiful shot. Very sharp and clean. I'm not a fan of the dark vignette style, but that's just personal opinion. What i like most is the hair on its neck sticking out at the bottom of the picture. Makes me think about how my hair would be too if i was facing him!

Great shot!

Nice pick, if you don't mind where in the UK was it taken, I'm looking for that kind of experience to get a range of Big Cat photos.

Thanks
