Just going thru some older images and came across this one.
Taken with my old Oly 8080 from nearly 4 years ago.
I quite like the composition here and the color of that sky. The spottie on the Leopards face sure helps.
Any thoughts, C&C welcome.

Cheers
Marc

Yeah the spotlight on his face is great..You are a bit crazy though for going anywhere near him. Wild animals scare the shite out of me.

Nice, very nice. Might pay to run the Dodge tool over the leopard to make him stand out a little bit more.

How's this?

Sweet. How about some artistic vignetting but favouring the spot where the leopard is

Just use the BURN tool with a massive circle and opacity of about 1%, then just burn in the outlying parts of the image to improve the contrast on the leopard.

Then maybe increase the saturation marginally, just enough to get a bit more colour out of it.

Well, that's what I'd do anyway.
