Wow, Ken, what a nice portrait of this beautiful leopard!  It might help to lighten the shadow in her eyes a little.  The eyes are the most important, and so bringing a little more attention to them might help.  Just a thought.  It is a love image as is, in my opinion.

Hi, Ken, beautiful details in the larger view, and I really like the flowers.  I agree with Shirley about brightening the eyes a bit.
