Excellent pattern. I think a break somewhere in the pattern with shape, colour or texture would make this a much more interesting photo.

The cranes are interesting, but they're too small a part of the picture.

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!

I like the uniformity of this with the lighting, the subject and not any distracting glares.
