Beautiful image Samyak. I think the tree on the right side is not adding to the frame. You may want to keep it out. The oof tree on the left enhances the sharpness contrast. I'm trying to imagine slightly in focus tree with some texture on it. Do you have another one with tree in focus?
Thanks for sharing

Samyak, curious to know why wanted to go with B&W ? I like the posture of the leopard which strengthens the moment portrayed and also leopard looking the photographer would have made the photographer part of the image.

Nirlep, the trees were pretty close to me than to the leopard. Hence, so cleanly out of focus. Could not have managed a photo with larger aperture to get this tree in focus or increase DOF for the distance is much as I said and the low light in the evening. I thought, without balancing the left tree on right, it would have served as an obstruction to see the "leopard world" that I wanted to focus through this image. Will try cropping it out and see how it works.
Ganesh, wanted to show the 'leopard world' of which it is just a part, well camouflaged, completely mixed in it and at peace with its surroundings.
In the color version, the leopard stands out and you almost miss the surroundings.
