The way the leopard is looking at us is quite captivating. It draws the view in and hold us. Lazy? Maybe. Sizing up the situation? Yes. Ready to do something should the circumstance arise? You bet! This is really a fine photo. Jerry, I like your use of the word (if it is a word) cature. If it is not a word, it should be.

Love the pose and he/she looks great. My only wish would have been to not have the bright sky with busy foliage...all beyond your control, of course.

Looks like a housecat, but I don't think I'll try to pet it. Excellent composition, Ken.

Thanks everybody, I too like "cature".
Usually these rocky outcrops have few trees, but not this time
