Beautiful subject, colour tones and light in this lovely image Liz, my only nit is the lack of space at the bottom for his feet. A touch more space there, if you have it, would be much better and seeing that you used a zoom lens (as I do for wildlife) I would think you have some with more space around. Such a handsome cat and always good to see them on the ground rather than up a tree all the time!

Very nice image, what a gorgeous specimen and I like that intent stare. Lovely warm tones also.

I made the vertical crop to eliminate the trunk but couldn't do the branches. Thanks for the kind comment. It was a beautiful young male leopard and fortunately tolerant of us humans admiring him.

Very nice picture. Reducing the highlights is possible and looks like better.
