I like the slinky look of the predator and the way you waited for him to be in the shade. The cat looks great but I do not like the bright sun in the background.

a nice shot although would have liked a sharper images slightly out of focus on the rear end ...Its nicely structured with no distractions and a great expression on the face of this beautiful animal

Thanks for your feedback the blurred background was intentional as shooting through small wire fence concentrating on focusing eyes of at. ☺Mary

A rare image of this feline. Capture is well focused. I find it a bit somber and wonder if you could lighten it a bit. In the small view, features are lost. He look so humble!

Yes, I think it is improved. Thanks for your additional work.

Love this shot of the serval. The depth of field does a great job of making the subject stand out. Good job catching the cat on the prowl. I have a Savannah cat that is 20% serval. Love it

Thanks so much your positive and encouraging words are appreciated. That sounds like an interesting cat mix :) Mary

Subtle illumination.
Diffused focusing.
Quite tight on front paws & back portion.
This could have look better in vertical framing.
But I guess there are distracting elements, hence this cropping.
An artistic rendition. Monochromatic colors. Excellent details & features. Impressive strokes & textures. Thanks for sharing...

Thanks so much Dick - shooting through the wire so was difficult to get different framing, will try vertical next time at zoo :) Mary

reply by Dick Lee Shia on 06-Jun-2016

Okay, understandable...
Better try it next time...good luck Mary!

This is a very appealing nature shot. I like that the cat looks as if she is looking straight into the camera as if she knows you are taking her photo. Nicely centered and sharp. Thanks for sharing
