Loungin' Leopard

The focal point seems to be the ear/left paw rather than the face which I find distracting a little. I want to be drawn to the face and it isn't happening. I Still like the image, just not fond of the focus. Good Luck.

Nice Crisp image. Would have liked to seen the eyes 'punched' up a bit in PSP or PS as they are a little dull and take away from the result IMO. Good Luck.

The colours seem really over exaggerated and you have some hot spots on her paws. Would definately have toned down the colours and zoom out slightly to include her paws. Good Luck.

What a great capture and expression. You need to maximize your pixels as this will probably score lower than it deserves due to its size. Good Luck.

Well done and nicely captured image. I am finding that I prefer the silhouttes that still provide a little detail and colour in the subject as yours clearly does. Very effective result. Good Luck.

I like the composition, however the conversion to greyscale appears a little dull. A duotone approach and some additional dodging and burning in the clouds could have punched up your result. Good Luck.

I think that this is a great take on the challenge. Very simple and effective composition. However, IMO the post shot editing has killed the beauty that is this image. It appears that you have done some dodging and burning and the results around the shoes and hat just doesn't look right. It has also created a shadowy effect from the legs on the blinds which doesn't make sense when back lighting should be creating the silhoutte. I think the composition is a solid 8 and it definately meets the challenge, however I have scored it a 5 based on the editing and points I have stated. I would have really liked to have seen the original image with some brightness and contrast adjustments only. Good Luck.
