Nice pose captured. It is good that you got the eyes in clear. The light is nice. Good details. Look forward to more.

Hi Praveen,
I don't agree with this composition. Moving more to the right would have been better. In this case, the attention goes to the body portion rather than the head and it also doesn't help that the lower part of its mouth is hidden. Your other images were better. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Agree that the attention is going on the body, but that is partly because of the eyes not being fully visible. Otherwise, I have nothing against the present composition- moving to right..I am not sure if that was possible given that you always sit beside the driver And moving the jeep would have surely resulted in this leopard leaving you alone!

Thanks guys for comments, moving right was always a risk of leopard jumping down the tree as she did later. The leopard was already annoyed with langurs alarm calls, had we moved the jeep she would have gone off in no time.

But I take all you points & suggestions that are very much valid, these will surely help me during my next sightings
