Default Cougar at the zoo

Hi all new member here and I would like some input on this shot. It was taken with my 30D and 70-300 DO lens. Taken handheld and shot trough the fence.
Wondering if it is sharp enough?

I'm no pro but it looks sharp to me. I think what you are missing is your EXIF data from the shot. Since you have it up on Flickr you should be able to easily retrieve it. Oh, I almost forgot, welcome to DPS!

I also posted the wrong shot before changed it to the original not the cropped one.

It looks nice and sharp to me as well.

I would like to see the exposure bumped up, though. It's a little dark for my taste.

I'd say it was a tiny bit dark, but with the teeth so well lit, i think it works quite well..
from my eyes, i'd say it was sharp enough...
not gonna make a joke about sharp teeth

Sharpness is nearly impossible to judge at this size.

I like the pose and the moodiness from the shadows, but would still prefer to see the shadows opened up a little bit on the face.
