Hi Maureen, Sue Evans here again. This great Snow Leopard - like the 'burning bright' tiger - steps right out of the night . Your brave choices with colour are in evidence again and the balance and quality of light and shade and composition only enhances the real presence of this gorgeous big cat. Considering you have done this beautiful picture of an endangered species, how about doing one or two of the endangered species of the seas, perhaps? The endangered whales and seals, eg? I know someone who would really be interested in those ...

I like the way you have captured the movement, and the way this beautiful beast fades back into the shadows. Gives it great depth!Anonymous Guest 06 Feb 2007

Maureen, this is great. It feels like the leopard is going to step right off the paper. Great contrast with black background and the white leopard.helen tyralik 13 Nov 2006
