I think I get that the cat, while a hunter, is also hunted by man (or perhaps by you, the photographer!) but I don't think that comes through in the photo. The composition and color pallette are interesting and appropriate. 7
It's always great to have shots like this where you feel the creature making eye contact with you. Composition-wise, having the subject off-centre is a great choice, but your background doesn't do you any favours - it is too close for you to play with DOF so we're just left with some out-of-focus brown rocks which for me are a bit of a distraction; not that you had any power over this. Looks like we have a bit a purple fringing in vital areas which is a pity. But none of this detracts from the fact that you clearly have the eye for a very striking shot.
