| If your photos arent turning out the way you want... get closer to your subject... though in this case I think an exception is made. |

the cat is too dark and the background is to bright. Also, I'm not a huge fan of the composition. The cat's head is right in the middle of the frame which just does nothing for me and is rather boring. Personally, more space around the cat to the top left of the frame would have been nice to give the impression that it is looking into the space, rather than just staring at a brick wall.
It might help if you warmed up the colours a bit too, they look a bit cold, a bit blue and a bit flat. If you have curves on your photoshop, that could help you out a lot here: once in the blue channel to warm things up, and again on RGB to make the midtones a bit punchier. |

I really wish I knew how to do that!! I will figure it out though. I have photoshop elements 4... |

| I agree with what The_Tourist and david_c said. In addition, part of the background has the diagonal patterns of a chain link fence, especially on the left. Would fix that one way or another (blur, clone, etc). |

There is good focus on the mountain lion's face, and the shallow DoF is nice.
However, the overall image is lacking in contrast (play with the curves and levels), and the white balance appears a bit "blue", or cool, to my eye. Maybe if you cropped as tight as you can, before losing any detail, and then played with a warming filter. A Photoshop plugin like Topaz Adjust of Nik Color EFEX might get you some interesting results.

| The panther is a bit dark, in the shadows. Perhaps lightening the shadows in PP to bring out the details in the panthers head to shoulder area. Just a suggestion. |
