More details.

This is a snow leopard taken a few days ago at the zoo. I study the details for painting or drawing. I'm fascinated by details of anything.

Thanks everyone for the very kind words.

@glyn I loved seeing him, but it is in a zoo. I'm thrilled to see, but wish it were in the wild (providing it doesn't eat me).
