It is a terrific pose… I might look at desaturated the messy environment a tad and maybe a bit more contrast to separate the leopard as much as possible. I would definitely remove the roof leaf in the URC.

Very nice, Richard. You caught a great pose with a nice setting. I do think you could make some subtle changes to the luminosity of the face to make it pop a bit more.

Majestic pose and healthy specimen!
The impact of such a wonderful pose is reduced by 80-400 mm lens at f 8, a faster lens with a shallow depth would have done a better job.

Thanks to all for your comments and suggestions. @Jagdeep-I gave up carrying the big, fast lenses a long time ago and like the lighter 80-400. Richard
