Sea lily with goldfish ... SL2 and 90/280. A very heavy and bulky lens - but I like it so much.

Thank you Jayne, much appreciated.  It is so wonderful and rewarding to see these animals in the wild. I became involved in this game reserve in 1992, at the time there was hunting on the reserve. The leopards were there but almost impossible to see.  As it is they're very secretive cats, in this case even more so as they were being baited and hunted for sport. Absolutely appalling.

After 10 years of negotiating with the previous landowner, a group of friends and I finally purchased the properties in 2003. Our main reason being to take control to stop the hunting.

It took over 10 years to get the Leopards used to our presence. Amongst a number of research projects which we've undertaken on the reserve was also a Leopard Project . Most importantly this project has resulted in a change in national environmental legislation, which now gives Leopards extra protection with a higher conservation status.

Thank you for your kind comment. I use a software from Alien Skin with the name Alien Snap Art which I own since a couple of years in verison 3. I do not know, if a newer version does exist. This software has  lot of presets, which can be modified by the user in very different ways. When I found the best for my photos I often do further modifying in Photoshop concerning sharpness, gradation curves etc. It is a longer process to get from the photo to the final result. when an optimal result should be achieved. - not just clicking. And the processing in Snap Art is not always the same, it depends on the original photo which kind of processing is the best one.
