Big cat close up

Sorry I don't have the camera setting at hand.

I like this shot because of how hard it is to see Leopard in the wild and I was luckily that this Leopard decided to sit next to our truck for a few moments and let me take some shots. I didn't have much time to think I just zoomed in and shot while I had the chance.

I don't now if just the Leopard is enough to make this a nice photo as I didnt use rule of thirds and not much else is going on. I've cropped the photo a little, do you think I should cop it some more? is just the leopard alone enough to make this a good shot?

I like it. But it looks a little underexposed.

I think this is a great shot. It is a little dark. I would crop it in a portrait style and take out the busy leaves on the right. Get right up close, fill the frame tight with the leopard. Don't care for the square crop unless it is going to be your fb profile pic. He is a cutie.

Do you think this is crop better, to tight? and I've lightened the shot up a little
