Wow, what a great demeanor for this cat to be carrying. Good focus and use of background and good perspective (being eye to eye).

His head looks so unreal. I don't think I've ever seen one at this angle/this close. Think you clicked at just the right time. Since his feet are missing you could probably crop a little tighter on the bottom - make it more portrait like. the detail in the face is stunning. I think a boost to the saturation of the greens might also improve this - it would add vibrant color that owuld contrast so well with his fur. Excellent capture - 7 - good luck in the challenge!

Great composition and expression. More contrast would have given it more punch.

Wonderful focus on the face of this leopard. It looks so elegant. Great shot. Should be top ten.

Great shot and excellent framing. The crop is excellent. The only thing that gets me a bit is that one of the blurred lines in the background lines up with the natural line down the middle of the face, maybe I would have cloned it out. But overall, a great shot! Top ten for sure.

Nice capture on the move. Lovely colors. I like his tail swishing in the background. The detailing is nice - you can see his whiskers caught in the light.
