A couple of old photos taken while the Amtrak was stopped - somewhere in Colorado, I think?
(And yes, I like that the vertical leans!)

Black Leopard
This female has arrived at Hamerton. This place rescues animals from all over the world, mainly endangered species, and they breed when they can.

I've photographed Ady a few times now. We get better each time as a team. This image was a fave from our latest session. I hope you like it to.

I think your composition could use some work. The largest part int he frame is empty water. If the dock wasn't there I would suggest getting lower but because it is there I would suggest moving forward and using it to fill up a larger part of the frame.
LOL. I thought the same things but decided not to mention them. I don't think he could have moved forward enough to help that much. Really, if he could have set up a ladder in the water... ;-)
This is entirely my POV but it's not really sharp enough. I don't normally comment on that but the bridge lights, especially, should be sharper. I don't know if you shot this hand-held or what.
My biggest thing is composition but without having been there I can't say much about that.
And while I don't normally make suggestions about post, just a few tweaks could really help. In the attached copy, I increased the temperature and tint just a tad, opened up the shadows and dropped the blacks by the same amount, bumped up the whites, clarity and vibrance. Then I removed some unidentifiable flotsam and gave it a slight negative vignette.
Again, and I can't overstress this, it's just my opinion which is usually wrong! :-)
Thanks for the feedback I am about a month into my photography journey and composition and processing are key elements I need to work on and learn. My plan is to shoot as much as possible to shorten the learning curve...
