Pensive Leopard
I took this image while visiting the Masai Mara… Okay, not really. It was taken at Chicago’s Brookfield Zoo last year. Although the leopard exhibit is staged behind a thick Plexiglas viewing wall, this magnificent animal ignored our presence, appearing deep in thought as I grabbed the shot from just a few feet away.

A great shot! You wouldn't know it was at a zoo! Nice depth of field and composition. I hope to see more of your work.
Awesome! Love the composition. What camera/lens did you use? Fill flash?
Love this image. Do you sell prints?
Thanks Ben. I may one day sell prints, but right now I'm still learning.
Thanks Randy, the image was shot in limited natural light w/o fill, Nikon D2Xs, Nikkor 35-70.
That picture is awesome.
What a beautiful, magnificent animal! One of God's masterpieces!
Nice shot. What settings did you use?
Nice shot. Too bad he wasn't looking over at you. Eyes are what shows life. And a catch light would have made this a $$ shot. Not knocking the shot, just constructive criticism.
Very nice.
