Challenge: Pattern II (Basic Editing) Camera: Canon EOS-30D Lens: Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS Location: baltimore zoo Date: Dec 26, 2006 Aperture: 5.6 ISO: 200 Shutter: 1/400 Galleries: Abstract, Animals Date Uploaded: Dec 26, 2006 Add photograph to your favorites Add photographer to your favorites	An african leopard curled up asleep at 400mm (640) I know I'll get a few dings for lack of sharpness. Its sharp, just reducing it down to 66 quality doesn't do a lot for it. It looks great at actual pixel full size. :) Also, a pattern can be random. :)

Top 5 to me. Excellent execution, lovely creature and perfect moment. I'm afraid it may be perceived as "too sweet". I can see no flaw in it. 10.

What a nicely captured moment! Beautiful composition & exposure but greater DOF would have kept focus sharp across the hindquarter - something which I think it would have greatly benefited the overall image. << 7 >>
