Description This image was originally taken using slide film, I don't remember which it was.
I don't think the quality is all it could be, I converted it using my EOS 300D and a slide copier.

This leopard is part of a big cat breeding programe here in the UK.

Awesome! You must have had some patience to get this one. You captured the leopard's face perfectly, no major blurs, pixelation, all that bad-ness. Great photo.

Thanks, it was a good day out, and as I was shooting on slide, I just fired a few shots off. This was one of the resulting images.

Great photo!
you did a great job capturing the intensity of this amazing animal!

My only comment would be that changing the levels of the photo might add a little punch to the colors! Other than that it's excellent!

Nice work!

Love the composition, but the noise really takes away from the shot. This, sharp, would be a go'er for sure!

Love it. What a subject!

I like the angle, tone and all but the blur kills the shot
never the less its a very nice shot

ScarlettPhoenix In reply to Beachrockz4eva [2005-12-07 16:00:31 +0000 UTC]

Thank you, it doesn't help that it is a scan of a slide, so I think it shows up any of the faults a bit more.

clarinetJWD [2005-12-07 05:49:37 +0000 UTC]

I think it would look better in full size if full size were smaller. I don't exactly have a small monitor (19" LCD), but it doesn't even come close to fitting on the screen, and the smaller you make it, the less irritating little flaws are. THat being said...

From the small view, this is a phenominal shot. THe composition and colors are stunning. Very, very nice

ScarlettPhoenix In reply to clarinetJWD [2005-12-07 11:18:26 +0000 UTC]

Doh! When I submit my images, I always seem to forget to resize them. Have resized now, hopefully it will look better.

Thanks, it was quite hard to shot a "natural" looking shot as the cub was wearing a harness. But I love the way the cub has a kind of distant gaze in this shot.

kingtristan [2005-12-06 22:53:45 +0000 UTC]

I do really like this photo. I think you have done really well. The leaves in the foreground do add to the whole way the cat is "creeping around" yet they do become a little distracting. That is me being very picky though. I really like it!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

ScarlettPhoenix In reply to kingtristan [2005-12-07 11:21:45 +0000 UTC]

No, NO, that is not being picky. That is just you giving me youe honest view, and I thank you for that. Without honest views of my work, how am I to improve? So thank you.
