Hi Anette, an interesting image with regard to the content.
I think a CCW rotation would be good, likewise adjusting the colour balance, looks like there is more blue coming through overall. light looks harsh and tough to handle, but the highlights aren't too bad. If you have the space, then more room to the right, with a little less to the left. Could add a bit more sharpening to the Leopard. Agree with you about the ISO, but we all can make small errors, LOL. Wish you had used the MKIV, not the MKIII for this shot.

Anette - a fantastic sighting and great comp. Really shows the blissful ignorance of the ele about the approaching leopard. Seems these types if sightings/encounters always occur when the light is either too harsh or non-existant. I would try a luminosity mask to tone some of the highlights and agree with Steve on reducing the very strong blues (might need to reduce cyans a tad too) and additional selective sharpening on the leopard. Looking forward to seeing a repost once you have time to rework.
TFS,
Rachel

what a moment! pity about the time of day, but wildlife don't listen to our whims about decent light 
the colour in the repost looks much better!
I'd still rotate it slightly CW?
