    Nicely done. Who is Salayexe and where does she live? The face needs to be sharpened a bit. I love the tongue of course. Did you make and verticals of this scene? Might need a bit of CW rotation.

    The eye contact and tongue make this one for me. I'm interested also interested where you made this image. Maybe a bit centered, I like the vertical crop idea.

    I think Artie's right - sharpen up the eyes and get the horizon level and this is going to be a really stunning image. Crop a bit off the left if you want to move the cat out of the center position. What a beautiful cat!

    Thanks for the advice all, I for the first time now notice its slightly tilted to the left and will correct, I left it central as I thought giving some space either side of her might unbalanced the image. Taken In the Sabi Sabi game reserve South Africa. Her name is Salayexe and she is just on 3 years now. This was taken about 2 half years back before I got seriously got into leopard photography and was still using below standard equipment and still on jpeg so editing was difficult. Thanks again
