It's very different Ken, I quite like it, looks like the leopard was about to jump. It sharp where it counts, both front feet off the truck is also very nice TFS
A very appealing image Ken. I like the tall vertical presentation.
Well done Ken. I too like the vert comp. Sharp where it counts. Looks like a few dust bunnies? on rhs of image.

Neat comp. I like how she's in line with the tree trunk and the sharper part of the body is about to break free of the line of the trunk.
Thanks for your comments, the vertical presentation not only worked out well but was neccesary to crop out lots of other branches.
Todd,
I can see the bunnies as well, thanks for pointing them out.

Ken - I too like the vertical comp and the mid-leap action. The rear part of the body looks a little strange, did you apply any sharpening there?
TFS,
Rachel
A pleasing image indeed!
Nice image, Ken. I did notice that there is something going on with the lower right hand corner, as well as a few vertical streaks going up the right hand side. Perhaps a cloning job? The brightness seems to be a little off, and it took my attention away from the subject.
The processing on this image was clearly hampered by my monitor in UK.
The colours are definitely "off" here is a tidied up repost.
very interesting perspective and I like the use of DOF and motion blur here Ken!
repost certainly has more clarity and appeal
I do like the pose and the high key look but everyone missed the dark spot in the original and the big light BKGR splotches in both. Ignoring obvious problems in an image does not help anyone :)
ps: Good job by Andy Biggs and a bigg welcome :)

Just to clarify Todd spotted this bad error in processing first.
Back to the drawing board:(
Thanks Ken, Huge light blotches are not dust bunnies :) As you implied, they are caused by processing errors.
