What a beautiful cat and he looks so serene. Well composed image Eileen with excellent color, exposure and focus. You did well through chain link fence. :) Mary

Comment from AndreThreeThou
Really cool how the lens can be so accurate, especially after shooting through a chain link fence. Just the close of of this animal is intimidating, kind of makes me forget that you shot this photo from a distance. Really shows the majesty and strength of this type of creature by showing it this close.

thanks so much Andre... If they are far enough away from the fence, with a zoom lens... very easy to do :)

Comment from Envision
I like the expression this guy is giving you! It is quite the stare and the eyes are gorgeous. The color of the fur is also nice and I like the way the textures stand out.

A pretty good animal shot posted here! Your fine and classical composition grants us an enjoyable view of your panther. Looks like it is wondering if the effort to pounce is worthwhile! Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely taken!

Wow, that is a big cat ! Huge front paws and he's definately handsome. The first one I've seen in a still photo and in such detail. A shame about the chain link fence, but nothing you could do about it. Lovely shot, impressive cat.

What an absolutely gorgeous face this panther has, I love that his eyes draw me in ! He is well photographed with good focus, this image is clear, exposure is managed well, colors and tones are natural, it's such a beautiful relaxed but alert pose. Well presented!

Wow. What a Great shot BFF. That look is amazing. One wonders what this magnificent animal might be thinking. There is such a story in that face.

The focus is spot on and the colors are perfect. I would consider blurring the black strands of the fence behind the animal. Not a big thing however.

Really a Great photo BFF. Well done ~ BFF
