Note: In December 2019, I discovered that my lens had been incorrectly reassembled by a previous owner with the rear element reversed. This made a quite pleasant soft focus lens but my early shots are not representative of it's true performance. Correctly assembled, it provides far better IQ.

Comencemos la visita guiada.

Aquí tenéis la cara trasera de mi pequeño tesoro.

Por qué empezar por detrás?

Si me conocéis, y creo que eso es fácil, sabréis que siempre hago las cosas un poco a mi aire. Intentad aceptar que tendrá alguna explicación...

Su cara más discreta. Si pasáramos caminando junto a ella puede que jamás le dedicásemos a Tremalo más allá de una mirada furtiva. Es el peligro de las primeras impresiones; a veces nos roban el resto...

He aquí la apariencia más pobre de esta pequeña capilla perdida en mitad de un enorme y frondoso bosque.

Skipping around the garden from flower to flower I finally caught her resting.

Personal note: Warm thanks to those of you that stayed with me during this Leopard series. This "Leopard at Rest" image is the last of the series for 2018. It is rare that you get to photograph the same magnificent animal for an extended period of time. The lighting fast changes of mood from napping to aggressive warnings demonstrated how complex their reactions could be at a moment's notice. I only wish I could follow him for years to come…
