My first attempt to photograph Diana. Camera needs to get used to her :) I've played with the colours a bit here. Overall I am happy, will try again soon.
He has a nice profile, so I ignored the guideline of showing part of the far side of the face for more flattering effects.
Shot info: Sunset with a diffused sky, reflective ocean and sand made a directional but broad, soft light source.
One thing I learned: a reflector on opposite side (camera right) would open up the shadows.

I'd be glad if someone would tell me the species...
Snow Leopards are highly endangered.
The Snow Leopard (Uncia uncia), sometimes known as the ounce, is a large cat native to the mountain ranges of Central Asia from Afghanistan to Lake Baikal and eastern Tibet.
The Snow Leopard cannot roar.
Well known for its beautiful fur, the snow leopard has a whitish-tan coat with ringed spots of dark, ashy-brown and rosettes of black. Its tail is heavy with fur and the bottom of its paws are covered with fur for protection against snow and cold. The life span of a snow leopard is normally 15-18 years, but in captivity they can live up to 20 years.
Weighing usually 35 to 55 kilograms, the snow leopard is slightly smaller on average than a leopard. Exceptional large males can weigh up to 75 kg, very small females weigh only 25 kg.
The head and body length is 100 to 130 cm, the shoulder height is about 60 cm . The tail measures 80 to 100 cm and is proportionately longer than in any other cat species of comparable size. It helps to maintain its balance on the rugged terrain and unstable surfaces of its habitat and is used to cover its nose and mouth in very cold conditions. The head of the Snow Leopard is relatively small, however the male's head is usually much squarer and wider than that of the female. The big furry feet act as snowshoes, like those of the lynxes. The snow leopard has gray-and-white thick fur with numerous rosettes on the flanks and spots on the head and neck.
In summer, the snow leopard usually lives above the tree line on mountainous meadows and in rocky regions at an altitude of 2.700 to 6000 m. In winter, it comes down into the forests at an altitude of about 2000 m. It leads largely a solitary life, although mothers can rear cubs for extended periods of time in cave dens in the mountains. It is an opportunistic feeder, eating whatever meat it can find and kills animals three times its size, including domestic livestock. Its diet consists mainly of ibexes, the Bharal, the Markhor, the Urial, deer, boars, as well as pikas, marmots and other small rodents.
