Fascinating to see the different and distinctive markings on some species, just like fingerprints. This would be better for me with more room at the bottom, even if he is hidden by the grass but he is certainly a handsome male!

This needs to be viewed against the dark background as it looks a bit flat against the white. Love the markings on this cat and I like your composition putting him low in the frame. I do agree with Carol that just a small shift downwards so there is a little more room below would be even better, just to give him more of a base to rest on.

I do agree with Carol on giving it more room at the bottom. Pointing out his Christmas tree marking makes me smile

Great detail. A bit less on top, as others have said, would be better. Maybe you didn't have this option, so perhaps horizontal comp would give a bit more impact?
