Questions to guide your feedback

I’m always interested in cropping comments, and I would like an opinion on its warmth. I recall the actual frame did have lots of warm yellow tones in it so I did not lessen it.

Great pose and beautiful image !
I’m ok with the warm tones, but you need to boost the contrast.
You may also increase the saturation of reds in the ears.

Add some microcontrast to boost up detail in the hair as my only nit. Pose is nice and the ear color is fine. Well done…Jim

Wonderful!! Dramatic pose, great sharpness, perfect DOF, nice light. The colors looks very realistic to me.

I really like this one Dave. Love those ears, I think colors and contrast are good for the setting.

Agree with Jim, a little bit more microcontrast to the ears, as they are the stars.
Amazing animal - and lovely tones!
