PotW 10.07.07

POTW this week goes to Steffen for his lovely shot of a snow leopard. Anyone who has shot animals knows how hard it is to get them to do what you want :wink: Great work with your lens wide open to provide just the right amount of DOF and separation from the background.

Beautiful picture, well done and well chosen. I think the best thing about this photo is the way you have captured (no pun intended) the leopard looking directly at the camera.
