This is stunningly good Sandipan. The lighting is excellent, the colors and the sharpness are great. I really like the curve of the big tree limbs, what a perch. The tongue sticking out is a nice touch too. You may want to touch up the little fringe twigs sticking into the edge of the frame right above the leopard’s head, and in the URC, otherwise, no nits from me.

Great subject and beautiful light here !
You may tone down the protruding bright green leaves on top corners.
If this was mine, I would burn down the sunlit bark to put more focus on leopard.
