Ken,

as already said, all these leopard images are making me really jelous, since I do not have any once I moved to DSLR enlightened

I like that huge tree trunk since it gives one a good relation about the size the tree must have and it lets the leopard look like the typical situation of a kitty that is lost in a tree. The background works also fine and I may crop to panoramic to focus the view to the leopard a bit stronger. Technically also great.

Love the frame, the look n the setting!
May prefer to reduce some sky and the sharpness on tree.

Very nice, Ken. I love the "perch" and pose of the Leopard. The distance adds a lot of context that I like.
