Graham,
Cool shot, good detail . . .

A beautiful look at the wildcat. Wonderful detail, and the open mouth is fearsome. I suggest looking at a crop from the left, for better balance.

Sweet detail and pose with a interesting BG.

Hi Graham,

Good timing on this one and nicely exposed and/or processed (those whites are excellent). I tend to agree with Phil re: cropping a little from the left - I'm thinking you could lose everything beyond the more sharply focused piece of grass without the image being too "squarish".

Cheers...

Brad

I don't mind the crop but I see Brad's point about the in-focus grass. Really nice portrait. The eye, open mouth and whiskers are all great.

Excellent exposure. I like the detail of the reflective eyes. I agree with experimenting with crop ratios.
