A fine looking leopard Ken, with a terrific stare.
The composition works well, although it is a wee bit cramped.
It could be my monitor, (or my eyes! ) but it looks to me as though there is a very slight green colour cast.

Ken,
Ken,
I post an image of a common whitetail deer and you post a leopard. Not fair.
I love the pose of this guy (gal). I like the fact that you can see all the tail. The crop detracts a bit, but it is still a great image. My only real nit is that I too think there is a slight greenish cast. I hope you don't mind that I downloaded your image and made a slight white balance adjustment. See what you think.

That's a fine, very intense, pose, Ken. Yeah, it's tight up top, but you're clearly aware...might be worth trying to add a hundred pixels up there with "content aware fill" in Photoshop. Jerry's version warms things up nicely.

Thanks everybody, my monitor seems to have gone on the blink as has my Spyder calibrator, I will try again soon.

Love the pose and that stare too !
I agree with adding some canvas on the top.

I noticed the green right away and think the sample rework is an improvement. This is such a good dynamic post that I think added canvas on top is worth it!

Thanks for the suggestions, I have another similar image which appears to have more room on top, I will take a look at that soon
