Use of the template is optional, but it can help spark ideas.
Great shot, quite scary actually. I like the vegetation and the play of light and shadow. The only thing I might try to alter is the leopard’s left eye. I just feel that if it were as piercing as the right eye, this might add to the effect a bit. But perhaps it does look more sinister as is!
Marvelous image! Sinister, indeed!
I like the vegetation and feel it adds a nice element of interest, without distracting from this magnificent cat.
I agree with cleaning up it’s left eye a bit to match the right. That stare deserves two bright eyes!
Excellent..
A beautiful image with great eye contact !
I would like to see the frame more rectangular and I may burn the bright areas on the RHS.
Agree, adjusting the left eye would help.
The leopard has given you a powerful, predatory strut with intense eyes looking straight at you, and your composition is wonderful; just centred enough and the grasses frame the animal nicely.
I wonder if raising the shadows just a tiny bit on the fore legs would add anything?
This is such a beautiful, moody image, Christine. Love it!
Christine: a wonderful image of this beautiful female made even better by the direct eye contact. An alternative presentation would be to burn the very bright areas that surround the leopard. It’s a wall hanger.
I think you nailed it. The light on her face is sweet. I would suggest burning in the bright area in the upper right corner which drags my eye away from the leopard.
