•  Support Perhaps not centered in the best way, but an excellent photo. --AmaryllisGardener ^talk 01:48, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

• Yes; a centered composition is not so good. But the subject was very fast moving and disappeared soon. I got only fiver "keepers", and we can see it is in different location in all of them. My camera has some limitations; I've to move the spot focus point using a joystick, which takes time. The fixed LCD is also not very helpful as I've to kiss the mud to get a view. :) Thanks all for the quick appreciation. Jee 02:38, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

• Yeah, I know how that is, that's why this amateur photographer sticks to moth photography, lights attract the moths overnight and then the next day, they're still there, and they don't fly during the day unless touched or bothered. Anyway, great pic! --AmaryllisGardener ^talk 03:08, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

• Ha ha; I like your moths. BTW, I see some point in your suggestion and made a crop. There is plenty of room in original even if I'm in the closest focusing distance because the subject is very small. We have another Leopard which is bigger and more common compared to this. :) Jee 04:00, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
