Beautiful capture here Ken. I love that intent stare. The techs look really good. My only suggestion would be to play around with the crop. The vegetation on the left and right of the jaguar doesn't add much. Perhaps a vertical crop?

He looks like a big and powerful example of the species!  The eye level perspective is a strong element.  I agree the brighter/warmer light on our left is less than ideal, but I don't find it to be a major distraction.
