I like the position of the claw and the way the eye color matches the BG.

Love the in your face look Vinay !!! Sweeeetttt !!!! I'm sure you can play around with contrast, balance etc but its just one fine image and like it as presented !!!

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Great eye contact. I might fool around with the white balance a bit. Wonder if the green vegetation is giving it a cast. But stunning IAC. (In Any Case)

[Ken Watkins]

Another fine Leopard image. You are correct about them being elusive :D

Lokking at the colour of the eyes they appear to have a slight greenish tint.

A very good contribution to "leopard Week"

Vinay, agree about a slight colour cast which is probably the result of the dense vegetation but I think this is a fine image. The casual position of the paw, the intense gaze and those wonderful eyes. Really, really nice to see.

Striking image, perfectly presented IMO.
