ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2023 Submission - Fine Art Category

“Ready to Pounce” exemplifies the glare of the Snow Leopard which is powerful and beautiful. They have eyes that captivate anyone who comes upon them. With their stand-alone beauty and amazing agility, the snow leopard remains one of my favorites in the animal kingdom. Their hunting skills alone leave me breathless. I sought to capture all their grace, power, and beauty with this intense stare as this cat prepares to pounce.
