Hungry leopard (2images)

[tommykjensen]

It is a beautiful dfay today, cold but sunny. So I went to the zoo. The leopards was fed with small lumbs of horse meat. The lumbs of meat were thrown into the enclosure in the snow so they had to work a little to find the food. (The cubs was not out :cry: ).

Again shotting conditions are difficult because of a stupid fence but this time I think I got some of the best shots I have ever gotten from that enclosure.

Here I was about 2 meters from the leopard.

Great shots. They make me wish that we could have a zoo.

Those are great, Tommy. Congratulations.

Thanks. I created a new version of the first one. A little tighter crop.

The crop is definitely an improvement ... you sort of "bullseyed" the face in the original composition. Both are excellent images ... really capture the intensity of its eyes.

What a beautiful - and frightening - animal.
