    Hi Behzad, you did well achieving this image based on the techs.

    Firstly I would have removed the 1.4 to give more space all round allowing you to crop slightly, thus avoiding the cropped side of the leopard which is not ideal. The look back is nice, however having the full leopard with the tip of the tail in the FG leading you in would have been excellent. I might try and reduce the Saturation a little and run some NR in parts of the BKG and lose perhaps half the space between the head and the existing crop, just tightening it up a little and removing some of the clutter at the top.

    Look forward to seeing more.

    Welcome here Behzad! I fully agree with the critiques already given. I might also try and sharpen the face a tad more.
    This leopard has an interesting pattern and I am sure I have seen photos of her before taken in that region...
