Gorgeous pose and techs look good. A darker background would be nice but not easy to do in this case. I would remove the blades of grass from under the chin and whiskers as well as the two little bits of loose fibre on the back. Might as well remove the bit of dry grass bottom left corner while you are at it. Regards, Ian.

Hi Sanjeev, again, another nice image, love the look back and those massive whiskers.
I think both the OP & RP have merits, just personal choice. Taking the OP I might just tweak the Tint slider to the left to reduce the slight magenta cast and drop the overall Exp, somewhere between -0.10 to -0.30 (figures optional). The blades of grass are unfortunate, yes you could remove the majority for a cleaner look, however the one which intersects with the chin hairs could be an issue. Would like to see a bit more tonal depth in the face just to bring form back into it and define the features more. No idea how the new 7D performs, but again, personally I would like to have seen more SS. The sharpening looks fine in the OP, I think Haseeb may have pushed it a little too far and borders on the crunchy look, but remember, at this stage it's 'perceptual' sharpening.

Hi Sanjeev - Another nice look at the leopard. My thoughts are the same as Steve's. Again, it's a little light/bright and I also see the bit of magenta. I'm fine with the blades of grass. Somewhere between the op and rp for me in terms of sharpening.
TFS,
Rachel

Wonderful Portrait Sanjeev, I like your crop, composition, and pp, might have darkened the face just a little, as I like to keep things as close as possible to reality.
A few minor touch ups to the attached.

Thanks everyone. Appreciate your feedback and RPs. Agree on darkening the face a bit.

A great pose and those eyes are seriously mesmerising. Beautiful!
I agree on the removal of the grass stalk under the chin, Raymond has done a good job, not the easiest with all the whiskers
A very nice effort

A stunning pose with the arch of the back/neck here, Doc!
I prefer Raymond's RP for tonality and brightness.
