Prefer this pose and intent gaze to the previous one, Stephen! Fabulous setting as already mentioned.
I don't mind the tailtip...but do think you could tone down yellows a tad? I also see a hint of green coming through on the leopard's RHS (our LHS as viewed), but will have to check tonight on the "better monitor" even though this one has been calibrated recently.
Welllll, things are slow, so just to "defend" my crop .
The leopard's eyes/stare/look is so intense (which I love) that you fixate on it. Also, the leopard is coming down and you are below it. The leopard is in a stronger physical position than you are. This POV and the stare is emphasized by a tight crop. Like I did, right ??

Lovely sighting and awesome pose, agree with morkel on colours and not sure if its just me bu the head seems a little soft as if there is a little movement in it.
