I love the photography-like essence in the first one! The blending in of his body with the snow & background is excellent! It's like you stumbled upon him during a heavy snowfall & he's trying his hardest to keep still. Except he can't help but shake the snow off his head, just in time for you to spot him.

I wonder what snow leopards do up in those snowy mountains they keep themselves hidden in. I'm sure it's not any different than what you've depicted here, though! That touch of light on its back gives it a nice warming feeling to the coldness of its natural habitat, as well.
