    Hi Steve ... usual high quality output .
    Needs more space to the RHS , IMHO . The stalking and the gaze is nice .... but he is looking at a " wall " on the RHS . Just my take ...

    TFS Andreas

    I can live with the framing.

    Nice image Steve, I like the way the leppard shows up from the grass. Tha way the tail curves up, the ears, the intent gaze, they all show its got it sights set un something. I like the color of the Fg, just makes the cat stand out while that dark strip in the Bg makes for a nice top frame. I agre with Andreeas, it would be better with just a bit more space on the RHS, but thats just a matter of personal taste.

    Super shot Steve, love the processing, I like the composition as is, but I think a little more space on the right would also be ok, I am ambivalent.

    A very good evening to you Steve,

    Superb capture of this male leopard stalking and a very natural looking frame in terms of colour and tone. FG and BG look great.

    I have no problem whatsoever with the space of the RHS. For me a tad more at the bottom would be nice, but overall happy with the framing as is.

    Beautifully processed, as expected

    PS I really miss photography and those late nights doing PP work. As you know, things have been really hectic on my side lately but everything is about to change... will keep you up to date with developments

    Have a wonderful weekend Steve,

    Warmest regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Hi Steve -- Very nicely done, super IQ as always , nice colours as well.

    I feel it is somewhat tight at the base but not a deal breaker.

    nice one, TFS !
