Hi Anette - Thanks for the comment and suggestion. I originally cropped to portrait but actually preferred this.
Thanks again,
Rachel

Hi Rachel,
Nice job on the processing with the light toned sky- the fur has nice detail/texture, and the eyes are sharp and well defined. As far as busy, since that is habitat where leopards are so often found, it is fine here. The distant OOF branches effectively break up the pale, featureless sky in the frame. Also don't mind the centered leopard in the comp. TFS this one.

The eye contact makes it work.
I do wish the branch in front was an inch lower to clear the tongue, but not an image killer.
You did a nice job with the light you had.

I rather like this shot, I don't mind the leaves and branches as I can see plenty of leopard which is very sharp. Love those eyes.

Thanks John, Dan, Jack and Steve for the comments and suggestions. Steve it looks good and you went even tighter than I had with my portrait crop version. Always good to have multiple alternatives.
Thanks again,
Rachel

Nice image Rachel, i think all has been covered here already, i do like the portrait style crop steve suggests. I may be inclined to add a little more vibrance and brighness to add alittle more colour and punch to the image, detail looks good possibly verging on over sharp

Nice - prefer the portrait crop. Looks a little over-sharpened, but I like the subject and its location.
