Very lovely pose with the turning back of the jungle cat. IMO I would be tempted to crop a little more off the right and remove the dark mark above the cat on the right and the leaf on the road that appears too be slightly hot. Very intriguing image and thanks for sharing Harshad.

OMG , Peter you fixed his eye, this is amazing , I just fall of chair

[David Fletcher]

This is good Harshad. Like the crop suggestions and the repost, although I feel the eye, despite its ugliness, is better kept, for its interest...... sorry Peter, after your hard work...:). (just a taste thing....:)).

Good PS work Peter !!! Don't know about the ethical implications of doing this, but I definitely prefer the second image for the crop and also to show my kids ;)

Harshad, good find!

Hey Harshad,
I'd leave the wounded eye....because I like truth in it....but I do like Judy's recommendations on the removal and Peter got most of them.....just the dark area above the cat. Very nicely done and very unusual!

Beautiful image. Lovely eye contact and a excellent angle colours and detail

[DanWalters]

Really like the eye contact and the warm light. I really like the second image. Looks a little cleaner.

I like the look back pose, the raised paw, and the golden color. The damaged eye tells a good story but isn't necessarily nice to look at. The beauty of digital, one for documentation, one for a nice portrait.
