I was about to draw attention to the lack of shading on the underbelly of the
leopard while the trees all have it; and when I got to the end of the Digest,
Dawid has it covered.
There's something wrong with the eyes of the leopard as well, and I suspect
the scale of the animal vs that of the branches..
