Snow Leopard leaping in the snow

These leopards actually do leap in this manner do they not? I can see the strokes you have put in to give the snow texture and it works....yet you have smoothed the strokes for the sky making it wintery soft.

The details on the cat has been done with knowledge of tonal ranges and you have a mist coming out of his mouth as he is running.

I do not have any suggestions for improvement. The composition is very effective with the animal running into the canvas. The colour palette you have used is realistic and your dimensional proportions well drawn.

I like this upload quite a bit....TOP MARKS.

Comment from Robert Davis


I love this image. However, since the artist can control the pose, it would have been more interesting for me to adopt a lower point of view with a more direct angle of it's face. Love the coat colors.

Comment from David Ruhl


This is very nice work. I am most attracted to the eyes and face, they are very realistic. I also like the coloring on the cat, and how you left a texture on the snow/ice. Beautiful!

Comment from karen zima


This is exceptionally good art. The brushstrokes are bold and intense like the wild cat. It looks like he is leaping for his dinner. The shadow below him is well placed and anchors the cat. I love how you did not put his whole body into the work, as it gives speed to the movement of the cat. I love it. Good luck in the contest.
