Four photos. Only four, with no introduction or history. Their author, Kittiya Pawlowski, claims to be an American photographer. But no-one in the world of wildlife photography has heard of her. The same goes for the world of mountain photography in general. But beginner’s luck does happen, and you can’t begrudge Pawlowski if she was lucky enough to grab some shots of a snow leopard, an animal some people have barely glimpsed even after spending years in the Himalayas.

The problem is in the nature of the photos, their composition, the light, their location. In other words, their veracity.
