The snow leopard is one of my favorite's of the big cat category. Great focus, composition, and eye!

Location
I took this photo at the zoo. The leopard wasn't moving, and in an attempt to get its attention - I tried to mimic it's growl that I heard it do earlier.Time
It was around dusk.Lighting
It was available light.Equipment
Nikon D2X with a Nikkor 300mm f4.0 afs lensInspiration
I love cats - big or small.Editing
Not much post-processing. Adjusted the color and contrast a bit.In my camera bag
Which bag. :-) I pack different gear depending on what I intend to shoot. Often I shoot both Canon and Nikon gear, because of slight color rendering differences between the manufacturers.Feedback
Pay attention to the background and fill the frame.
