Second attempt to photograph the Miller Park Zoo snow leopards in the snow. I had fresh snow, good light and the pair of snows who decided to stay right behind the fence, no running, no playing, no chasing each other.

Canon EF-S 55-250 @ 135mm
significant crop

Seems like a very melancholy expression, almost human. Quite mood evoking, and very poignant photograph. Well processed.

I think Michael pretty much summed up my feelings when I looked at this image. Great expression, very human like. Well done.
