[font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]I just made a large print (13 X 19), for a client, of this picture of a leopard I made in 2006 during our first trip to Africa. It was in a fig tree in the forest area of the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania. I totally reworked the image from scratch using new software, new techniques and 11 years of learning curve. One of my favorite images. Please look full screen for colors and detail.[/font]

Always nice to see a leopard in it's treed environment Ed, PP looks good also, but would like to see some colour/contrast in the pupil.

thanks for sharing this Ed. Good to go back over past shots as oft an older eye sees ways of lifting an image just as you've done.

Lovely find Ed, the big cats really have got relaxing down to a fine art! Great pose and detail, just the eyes seem a touch bland and glazed over?

Very relaxed looking cat - I think the eyes help - just staring out into space, not a care in the world...
