Clouded in the cloudsby *Allerlei

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Wild Animals

The Clouded leopard male called Cayan (Neofelis nebulosa, Levhart obláčkový ) from ZOO Ústí nad Labem, the Czech Republic. Clouds and sky are not real - they are painted on a wall in their outside exhibit

DID YOU KNOW THAT... the clouded leopard's tail is as long as its body, giving it an agility and balance that allows it to do things like climb branches upside down?

I don't see Clouded Leopard's pictures often, this is a refreshing one, with that blue sky contrasting on him! normally we would see them merging with their enviroment, almost invisible to the eye. So, it's original.
You shot it perfectly, with all of him inside the composition, that reflects you put a lot of care into this, or else is tail would have been left out.
And now that observation from the title: clouded LP, clouds on the sky… and he looks all dreamy, so adhoc!
I would recommend you to stray from the centered composition a little more: yes, he is over the vertical center, but what about moving him to the right, so we have more air on the left, giving more space for him to look at? it's just a suggestion.
I think you did a beautiful job in this shot, wow.

What do you think?
