Congratulations Edward!

I took this shot of a yearling leopard cub in the last light of evening. I know that light is everything and it's impossible to recreate good light, but I've really struggled with this image. I was using a fixed 500mm lens so couldn't leave any more space around (if I could have done, I would have framed and shot with a b&w strong composition option in mind) and she didn't stay there long before hopping down and going hunting.

Any suggestions on how to balance colours better would be very welcome.

Canon 1D4, 500mm f4, f5.6, ISO 3200, 1/160s
