Black panther with golden eyes stares directly forward

High-contrast digital render depicting adult melanistic leopard frontally positioned against dark blurred background. Subject exhibits: jet-black fur with precise whisker detail, golden-amber irises with sharp pupil definition, textured nose and mouth area in charcoal tones, forward-facing direct gaze, natural ear position with internal highlight definition. Bokeh background shows muted dark tones with minimal environmental detail. Lighting technique employs rim illumination on facial features and fur edges, creating separation from background. Photographic realism achieved through fur texture rendering, reflective eye surfaces, and atmospheric depth-of-field effect.
