Truly love this photo, but I'm disappointed in the branch that happened to be in the way. I attempted to blend it in more to the photo by darkening it, but it still stands out just the same. I'll pretend it just creates a framing effect rather than acting like a distraction in the shot. (:

i don't actually feel like i'm in a position to write critiques, but this is so beautiful i couldn't NOT write something.
(feel free to ignore this if you're offended by it!)
this shot manages to capture the beauty and elegance of the animal in a way that really draws me in. i feel like there is a lot to see in those eyes, not emotions that one typically associates with leopards. to me, it looks like he is being careful, stealthy and maybe a little sad. i like how there is greenery on the left side to balance the photo, it adds a lot to it.
sadly, the branch (?) is a little distracting because it is so blurry - it takes up so much space in the photo because of that.
the color scheme is beautiful, though, it seems very natural and fits the title very well. the detail on the leopard is amazing and stands out even more due to the blurred background.

The branch is a bit of a problem, but I think it's fine. Maybe a portrait crop would look better? That way the branch would only be in the bottom right corner, being more frame-like. Still, it's a fantastic shot. Is this from a zoo?

The branch which is in front actually bring the eyes more into the shot seriously. No need to pretend

The expression is amazing. This is a beautiful photograph. It has a great composition, and I love the sharpness of the whiskers : )

The big elephant in this photo is a gimme--the branch across the animal. There's not much you can do at this point to fix that, but I would be interested in seeing what would happen if you play around with the crop. For example, what if you go tight on the animal's head, cutting out the blurred branch and everything else out? Add a couple black borders, and it could work. Another idea would be to crop the image as a square, making sure that the brown branch cuts exactly across the middle of the photograph, as if crossing it out (the animal would be caught with half of its muzzle in the shot, and a smaller part of its body). That may give you the opportunity to play up an environmental message, perhaps.

Nice natural framing, and really good colours too. It's a bit of a shame about that branch though :/

It is a shame⦠I try to pretend like it just makes him look more hidden and stealthy, but it really is obnoxious. >.<
