Fabulous leaping pose caught mid air, nicely composed. You could open up the mid tones a bit. Otherwise a superb capture.

Hi Katie - Great timing and comp. Neither image has an embedded color profile. Good suggestions above for taking it up a notch and perhaps somewhere in between the two posts as far as saturation. I would also drop the brightness of the bg a couple of points to give the leopard a bit more separation from the bg.
TFS,
Rachel

Hi Katie, great capture and the pose in id air is great. I'd like to ask if you did NR on the BG or selective sharpening on the leopard. The image has a "paste on" look just a bit to me. Loi

Loi, I often apply NR to the BG and selective sharpening to the subject as I did here, perhaps a bit too much?

Hi Katie, a little late to the party, however...
I like the leaping pose and judging by the BKG probably about the best position to give standout to the subject. At ISO800 you should not really need to use any NR and obviously in doing so you will lose detail, which you should really try to retain. The OP looks flat, but addressing the issues as you say, has now pushed it the other way. Personally if you have the time, looking more at the blacks & contrast rather than the Midtones will, IMHO offer a better result and the blacks may not look so solid and offer some more detail. With that kit set up & SS you well equipped to nail the action.
