Very nice Ken. I like the subtle highlight around the leopard.

Hello Ken

Looks like Very Early in Am with Sun Low in Horizon. Like the Detailed whiskers, the Flies are even interesting. His damaged ear gives you a feeling of the severity of his world.

The small flareup on top of head near the ear is apparent but don't mind it. Shows the Low sun Angle with Rimmed lighting!

Well Done

Bill

I really like the subtle rim lighting, Ken. My overall impression is you could brighten everything a touch. The mood is quite pleasing.
