G’day Macky,

Now THAT is one cheesed off Leopard!
Nice tight composition that shows off the cat’s expression very well.
Extremely good focus and depth of field through the subject and a nice bokeh to boot.
To my ageing eyes and monitor it looks a tad under exposed on the subject but the background is OK. That also reduces the contrast on the subject. Perhaps some selective lightening? (Just a thought).
The colours are beautifully natural and the eye contact is perfect with a good catchlight too.
Nice work that man!
