Wow, thats close.. I like the raised foot, implied motion. I might crop off of the top almost to the tail to get rid of the rocks or dirt in the top of the frame. Tough light well managed. Land Rover dictated down angle obvious but not much you can do there..

Beautiful animal, a shame the light is rather flat and I agree a touch off the top would help here.

At 130!

Bet your guide's blood pressure was up a couple of points at this time. Love the head on look, raised foot and curled tail. (I think the curved tail signals they're not in a hunting mode but with that look you could sure fool me!) I would try boosting the contrast and saturation both a bit and see if the leopard "pops" a bit more.
