I was going to suggest a crop, but this really shows the height of the tree it was using and the long leap down to the ground. Nice focus where it needed to be.

The exposure on the cat and the tree is spot on and he is offering a nice active pose. The only unfortunate thing is situational in that the white sky intersects at the top of the leopard, drawing away from the effect. If only the foliage in background came up higher or you had a different level perspective, it would have been significantly more impactful.
