(c) Out for a Stroll II
by Jorne de Bruin
Second image from the walking Lynx sequence, this one is with a slightly different pose, and somewhat sharper. Sadly my time is still at a premium, I'd love to go out and photograph animals more often. Hopefully there will be more images in the future!
C&C welcome!

7 commentsAnother very pleasing lynx image! I really like the colours and the lighting and how the cat appears to be drawn to something off its current path (and perhaps about to change direction). For me the frame is a bit too tall and narrow (with perhaps a bit too much room up top), but I'm guessing you had a practical reason for this. I think the image would work a little better for me if the amount of empty space on either side of the subject was reversed, so the cat was looking back into the frame a little more (and thus with its head slightly less centred). But that's certainly a personal preference issue.
Looking forward to the time when you can find the time to shoot more wildlife!
Cheers...

PS: Thanks for so clearly stating the status of the subject (i.e., the captive nature of it).
were you shooting through glass or mesh?
I would shave some from top and right (and wish there was some space bottom and left)
