Another of my stylised animal images that I find so pleasing. This was one very chilled leopard. The first I have ever seen and beautifully lit sitting in the crook of an old camel thorn tree at sunset. At one stage he was out cold, eyes shut and legs akimbo such that he completely straddled the branch with all four legs and tail hanging down. Thankfully he did at least wake up for a few seconds so I snatched this one image. Hope you like the artistic treatment.
Fuji XT-1, 55-200 zoom, f/5.6 at 1/1000 second, ISO1000. Image converted to black and white in channels and thereafter Threshold in PS5 applied to render as an extreme contrast black and white.
