the Full-body shots were through Glass, while the head shots were taken thru a chain-link fence.
He ended up taking a cat-nap for awhile.
F4.5 1/60 sec ISO-560.
My first visit since March.

Thank you very much. I find this to be a truly Magnificent animal myself.
I took about 100 shots.

Beautiful shots. IMHO, I would have pumped the contrast and color saturation back to 'normal' for a sun lit setting and more colorful photo set of this magnificent cat. Good job.

A beautiful animal (Leopard?) caged in so you can take 100 shots, Did it move since March, did it change it's spots?
I'd bet it didn't even move.
Sorry for me this is a

Hello JD,
I was compelled to edit your wonderful photo of the leopard
in the free photo processing program "RawTherapee".
Hope you dont mind... feel free to download the download to your files)
Regards,
Alan Squires.
Tone mapped the image half a stop.
Bought the exposure up a full stop.
Increased contrast substantially...
all that left the image over saturated so
I went minus 7 on the saturation slider...
gave it a bit of "Haze removal" and sharpened it a tad.
All of that blew out some of the white so
I fixed that with some highlight compression.
I intentionally left a spot or two of blown out white
to act as specular highlights... I reckon the
mammal being in full shade needed that.
That's about it:

Alan,
Of course I don't mind. I appreciate that.
I could tell going thru the glass impacted the photo, but wasn't sure exactly how to repair it.
I tried to get my lens close to the glass.
Thanks

Jim, I use a rubber lens hood for shooting through glass - I put it on the glass which eliminates glare and allows angular movement of the camera. Also, a haze reduction filter in post might work here. Too bad you didn't get to pat the kitty! Nicely composed set.

Thank you for your advice. I had a plastic lens hood on, and every time I touched the glass, the camera locked up. I had to power off and back on. I'll try a rubber on in the future. I'll also try to reduce the haze.
Thanks again.
