Beautiful image, Monique. Love the composition allowing the leopard to look through the negative space in the frame.

This image is stunning. I hope you have it printed to hang on the wall.

Tx v much for all the positive feedback.  I struggled taking this photo as the leopard was moving quickly up the tree and the light was low. Luckily she stopped for long enough to enable me to take this.
