 An african leopard curled up asleep

at 400mm (640)

I know I'll get a few dings for lack of sharpness. Its sharp, just reducing it down to 66 quality doesn't do a lot for it. It looks great at actual pixel full size. :)

Also, a pattern can be random. :)

Top 5 to me. Excellent execution, lovely creature and perfect moment. I'm afraid it may be perceived as "too sweet". I can see no flaw in it. 10.

What a nicely captured moment! Beautiful composition & exposure but greater DOF would have kept focus sharp across the hindquarter - something which I think it would have greatly benefited the overall image. << 7 >>
