Great to see you here as well, Arno! I really like your "work" in general but if I'd have to pick one of ALL your photos I think it would be this one! The colors of this gorgeous animal really stand out, DOF is great and since the whole image isn't covered by the leopard, you get a pretty good idea of the "story". Extremely well done!

This is strong on many fronts. The posture, the framing, the blurred background, the spread and colour of the leaves ... I'm going to mark this as a favourite, and there's nothing anyone can do to stop me ...
