Description Snow Leopard @ The Taronga Zoo, Sydney

I love snow leopards and have envied people with easy access to them for ages! So when I visited the Taronga Zoo, I stood outside their enclosure for a much longer time as compared to others but still, I didn't get any action shots. Maybe I will get lucky next time!

They are such beautiful animals and so atheletic as well, they just look like giant kitty cats with really long tails.

You've captured the beauty well, although it's more of a dangerous beauty than anything.. I like how the expression is somewhat accusing, in a sense. It's like he's staring at something and waiting for whatever it is to slip up.

Great positioning and framing in terms of the execution. I really like the lighting and how it makes the background darker whilst the main subject matter is lit up.

Not bad, all in all.

Snow leopards are really beautiful and dangerous. I think they are really agile too cause this one literally did a handstand with its tail straight out against a rock face but that happened really quickly and I missed it on the camera.

Yea, I just wished that the little plant wasn't there XD.
Thank you!

Yea, I stood around for ages, then when I came back again only one of them was prowling around but at that time it was getting dark so most of those photos were blurred.

Yup, must be a cat thing.
