Ming & Suki, the Leopards at Panther Ridge

There are two Leopards at Panther Ridge, Ming and Suki.  Their coats are beautiful, their eyes are gorgeous - just like the Jaguar, they are very photogenic.


Things were different at Panther Ridge this time, and I was not able to photograph the Leopards very well.  Some ungrateful, trouble-making person called in and filed a complaint against Panther Ridge.  As a result, they had to make some changes at the facility.    We were no longer able to put our lenses up to the fence and get an unrestricted shot of these beautiful animals.  Instead, they built a fence behind another fence, and we had to shoot through both fences.  It was nearly impossible to get an unobstructed shot.  The only reason I got these is because I had a huge telephoto lens on and the depth of field blurred out the foreground.  The faint white markings on these shots, are blurred-out fence.  We are all so disappointed that this person spoiled the exclusive access that Panther Ridge was giving to our photography group. 


Nap time for this Leopard.  I thought it was a cute shot.
