A beautiful image, Peter. Great light and a very pleasing pose. A few minor nits: the way the light is striking the eyes give them a washed out glassy appearance. This would be an easy fix in PS, if you are so inclined. There is a black something in the upper right corner. Also, I'm not sure how much I like the sky in the background - it tends to draw my eye. You might experiment with a tighter crop on the top. Nevertheless, an excellent photo.
lovely pose ... lovely image... a leopard in its natural settings you are always going to get a cluttered BG....but i do agree a tighter crop will improve image...
Nice pose, colors, and inclusion of the environment. The tree makes a nice anchoring base for the subject. I like this crop (eliminating the sky) better than your earlier version. Nice image
