Great detail and textures for the fur and face. The color is wonderful and the POV is very compelling (eye level). It doesn't feel like it an "opposite" but a great capture.

Great expression on the beasty, but the framing puzzles me. I would have either pulled back and gotten his whole body and the architecture of curves of this feet and tail, or moved in so his face filled the frame to maximise the power of his gaze. This composition does a bit of both but neither all the way.

Nice representation of black and white in color. I would like to see the rest of the cat though. 5

Pretty kitty. Maybe a tad cropped more on the top? Good shot.

I like that the leopard is showing such keen interest in us and the eyes and nose are so clearly portrayed. I also like the colors other than black and white that appear. The bottom of the rear paw invites a full body portrait, yet the depth of field alllows little more than a head and shoulders.

A 6.

Nice picture, but it looks more like a snapshot, than a nicely composed photo. I would have either zoomed in and made this a nice headshot, or zoomed out and included surroundings. Good job otherwise.
