Lovely image Edward, great pose, detail looks good and a very nice oof bg adds nicely. Colours look goos to me i dont see to many issues there, only the image as a whole looks a little dull, it may be worth while to just increase the Right hand slider using Levels perhaps to brighten it up a little.

Hi Ed, I'm away again, so viewing on the laptop, so not ideal. Will look later, but do you use LR?

Hi Edward,
like the shot with the regal pose of the subject and the OOF BG.
I am with Brendon image looks a bit flat , i think in the mid tones . Would suggest to push them slightly , and reduce the blues in the highlights , not all because of the time when you took the image.
Think Anette pushed it too light in tones and lost a bit of the depth.
Great detail.Really like this one.

Thank you all for your feedback.
Dropping the blues makes a massive difference and now that I look at the image, I can see the blue cast. Very interesting that it's hard to see such a problem in your own images. Will look for it in the future. Increasing the mid-tones also works well and I like the B&W conversion that Morkel's done. B&W is always a good option when the colour isn't good, but I wanted to see if I could fix the colour in this one before reverting to the B&W option. Even so, I could have a B&W version and a colour version of the same photo so I appreciate the input on that.
Thanks all.

Hi Edward - nice pose and creamy bg. You've already gotten very good suggestions to amp up the midtones a bit and to deal with the blue cast. Definitely worth it to tweak this one.

Hi Ed,
Can't add much to what has said before. The background is lovely, the subject perfectly sharp, with a little extra punch it's just a really good image!

Hi Ed,
Congrats for catching a leopard cub in a nice setting. Dropping the blue makes a huge difference. I like Anette's RP very much. I am too struggling with seeing color cast in my own images, but it is so obvious when someone else shows me an example!
Well done.
