I like the last best.
Eye contact, nicely emerging from the brush, great detail
Three is a close second for similar reasons. However it has an unfortunate feel of being vertically sliced alongside the head of the left jaguar. I think its a funny combination of a vertical grass aligning with deeper shadows along the cat. If you lighten the shadows along that vertical line it will probably separate better.
I think the vignette is too strong in the first two.
Where were these? Looks like an amazing spot and wonderful shooting.

I like the black and white treatment. The last 2 are my favorites. I go find the vignette on the first 2 a bit too dark for my taste .

Like the second but think the tiger is too bright and everything have too much contrast, prefer the tone of the non frame ones. Also think the frame is a bit intrusive, maybe making it smaller.

All are very nice captures, Eric.
Slow down on the contrast and vignetting in the first two images and they will be my favorites.

Hi Eric,
The third one is my pick, showing the cats in a more natural environment and I feel the tonal balance in this one is more appealing.

Cheers Ray

The first two seem a little too contrasty to me Eric. The latter are much better to my eye.

Lots of good advice here! Many thanks and let's see if I learned anything.
Here are a few more and a redo.

Although the first redo looks more natural I prefer the second one with the better subject/BG separation.
Of course, here is where personal preference comes in.
Very good work, Eric.
