Wow Landie, this is such an amazing image
I particularly enjoy your composition with your subject looking out of the frame allowing negative space to the right to include the environment. Beautiful side light, warm tones, and water droplets dripping down, add so much impact. Thank you for contributing towards our October wildlife low-light posts. -
Thank you Bruna! This image made it to the Top 10 in die Admired in Africa Awards in 2019. On the day I took the photo – this made us VERY LATE for the gate. Totally worth it though.

Thanks for sharing, Landie. We love the gorgeous lighting and nuanced contrasts! This isn’t the Photo Critique Group, but we’re curious: why did you set the aperture to f/29? At f/11 or f/16, for instance, the picture would have remained tack-sharp and allowed for a lower ISO. This would have provided better quality, especially if you plan to…Read More

To be honest – it was a panic choice. As we arrived at Mapungubwe, my wildlife lens decided it is no longer focussing automatically. So I had to manually focus and it just made me photo-panic…. A good lesson to check equipment before trips.

Just a heads-up, we noticed that you are posting your images in both the Wildlife Group and on your Profile. The good news is that there’s no need to post your images in both places. Simply post in the Group, and it will automatically appear on your Profile.

Ah awesome. Thank you!

Thank you for posting Landie. He is beautiful, and you handled your exposure very well; however, the eyes are slightly soft. Please just remember to focus on one of the eyes of the Leopard. That way, both eyes will be sharp.
