Greetings from the Critique Club.

Wow, what a fantastic capture. I had to spend a while staring at it trying to figure out how it could possibly not be a montage. Perfect timing. I see the score is in your top 5 - well done.

I think the image itself is very interesting - brilliant capture, nice depth of field, and I love the symmetry of their faces. However, I think it could have been improved by adding an extra couple of post-processing steps.

The composition is good, but seems slightly unbalanced, probably because the faces are so symmetrical, but there's a large body on one side only. I would have been tempted to go for a slightly tighter crop on the sides, and see if that improves it. I also thought the image could benefit from being sharpened slightly more (although it's already pretty sharp as it is). Also, the colour of the background is pretty close to the colour of their fur, I think increasing the saturation a notch helps really bring out the leopards as the main focus of the picture.

Anyway, that's about all I can think of. Hope that helps.

Congratulations on a great capture!

Quite the optical illusion! I imagine this would be front-page news if it actually occured, unless this is the Three Mile Island zoo, of course.

Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two now and I'm running late, sorry.

Astonishing. 7
