Lovely first post! I don't remember many starting with a leopard.

I like the eye contact. How much crop is this? The light was pretty low. Else, I would have suggested a slightly narrow aperture. A higher shutter speed would have been good too.

I agree with Bhargava that the thick black border hinders in critiquing.

Was it moving when you came across or were you waiting? Thanks for sharing. Look forward to more.

Cheers,
