In the last duotone challenge, I entered one of my all time best photos, sooooo this one was a hard act to follow, but I kind of used this challenge as a "Take Two" and tried to take a photo with that similar "look" that I like so much.
It was such a DARK overcast day that day, and the jaguar was sitting where it was darker still, so I had to use an 800 ISO!! I'm taking a photography course right now on flash photography. Next time, I think I'll know how to correctly use a flash so that I can keep my ISO at 100 and still get good light. I hope so.

wow sandy this is an amazing image .. an excellent photograph and your processing is fantastic .. when i looked to see wot score you'd got i was expecting at least a 7 ... a 6 is really beyond belief .. its making me reconsider my free study entry ..!! ..:)
Another one of your astonishing animal portraits (you really should be a wildlife photographer). As always you amaze me with your sharpness, your composition and the richness of your tones.
I really expected to see this a lot higher! Lovely tones, expert post processing - and I'm VERY impressed - you'd never know you had the ISO that high! I want that image stabilized 70-200. There's no way I could hand hold at 1/60th. Nice work!
I always love your animal shots especially in duotone.....
I loved this one Sandy, and so proud of you and the wonderful feeling you capture with this, as you have an imfinity with animals.....
