I suspect some of the blurring was in post-processing but I rather like the effect, especially with the distorted perspective. Fun image.

Didn't vote in this month's FS (I know, I'm apalled at myself, too), but I would have given this one a 10, easy. It's clearly a leopard in the wild and I know they're elusive creatures, and it's got eye contact and is sharp as a tack and tells a story. I'd have been happy to get any recognizable shot of a wild leopard; to get one like this ... just remarkable.

Much more photogenic location than my suburban shopping mall Snowy :-)

Heck of a finish for a FS; congrats! The bird and reflection are beautiful, but the shadowy branches which appear to be reaching for him are really wonderful. Makes the image much more unique.

Meant to comment on this one but didn't get back to it last night. Filtering the landscape through the rainy windshield just adds so much to the image! It would never have occurred to me to try something like this. A gray, rainy day often has a very boring sky and you managed to add texture there that enhances the story. So cool!
