This sleeping leopard is one that David and I photographed in Kenya 2 months ago. We have several photos from different angles but the leopard stayed firmly asleep throughout. It was high up in a tree and there were lots of branches/twigs leaves in the background - many of which were casting shadows/areas of bright light on the leopard.
I decided to omit most of the greenery and so I also had to take out lots of the shadows but I'm reasonably happy with the outcome as I really don't like adding backgrounds ..
I'm calling this finished - I'll frame it over the weekend and it'll be ready for exhibition at the end of the month.
and with a mount laid loosely on top to ensure it will still fit the frame I've selected

Lovely Sue, he looks as if he had a really heavy night, sleeping off the hangover!!! Good luck with the exhibition.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bev. Its something quite different to the work I normally submit to this exhibition so we'll see how it goes. Generally I've been successful with portraits (human and pet) .. fingers crossed!
