You did an excellent job at creating this black leopard under water. The fine details in the fur and the deep dark eyes are gorgeous and well rendered! Good luck!

Hi Lynn, Love this one as much as I loved the tiger in the light beams. I can see the leopard very clearly prowling thru the water at night! Love the steady gaze and incredible detail! Tghis is one serious hunter. Your mind's eye has a way of really seeing what it wants to create. Love the way you did the lighting! The look is awesome! Fantastic entry for the contest! good Luck! :o) Nancy

This is a beautiful piece of artwork. The black leopard is very sinister in appearance; the details of the face and whiskers are stunning. The reflection in the water is well done. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from soulfeeder
Those eyes looks so scheming and calculative. Might be the reason why the black leopard might be going out of the night, and even through the water, to be less visible. Pretty strategic. This is an epic artwork. The vertical orientation is appropriate and the artist's notes has a story to tell. High on skills and creativity in the creation of digital art.

Hi Lynnmarie2, your technique for creating the water effect is very good as well as your colour and texture. Light and shade is good and I like the eyes. Thanks for sharing:-)

His eyes are mesmerizing and are sure to freeze the creature in front of him to death. You have framed it well. The light and shadows, colours, and composition have worked out well. Good luck!
