You captured a wonderful mid-action moment! The leopard dropping in from the upper left hand corner really adds to the feeling of movement. I like the power shown by the braced front leg and the toes of a hind leg, really making me feel the push of the leap. The face and eye are perfectly clear of vegetation and nice and sharp and full of intensity. For me, I would try cloning out those pale branches behind the elbow of the outstretched leg, and maybe some of the other bkgd pale branches. The leaf in front of the outstretched leg is too bad, but not a real issue at all for me as I can still see the pads and curled toes.

One determined leopard. The leaves don't cover anything important to the image, IMO.

You caught him nicely in the clear, Rachel (at least the parts that matter), and I like the framing/crop presentation...
As with others in this series, it's lacking a bit for me in terms of vividness (and I know the conditions were dreary).
Perhaps just a slight boost in midtone and highlight levels/curves, and a touch of warmth without losing the essence of the conditions?

Techs are there as usual, Rachel.
Personally I would ike to see more warmth through the image.

Great mid air action ,Rachel. Pity about the leaves and twigs.Agree that some warming would improve the image.Good comp and well presented.

My pleasure Rachel - I worked quickly so some of the dodging etc came out sloppy...
... but you get the idea.

Great image Rachel, a little late to this one, but i really like Morkels RP, offers some great tips and adjustments.
-
Great action captured here Rachel. I think Morkel's RP takes it up a notch.
