I like the soft shadow light on the leopard, nicely taken. The details of the leopard are great! TFS.

Nice shot with good detail. I would look at selectively editing out the cyan color cast in the leopard's pelt.

Pretty neat, eye level capture, Ken. Only tweak I see is given the contrasting light colors between shade and bright sun, I think you can make this even more appealing by warming the shadow area on the leopard. You could try a white point on some of the whitest of her coat, or do a selective white balance change, just enough to remove some of the blue tints.
