AZSON Bobcat

This was taken at the Arizona Sonoran Desert Museum in Tuscon, AZ in April. I was surprised how well it turned out through the wires in the window frame. Canon 60D, f5.6, 1/250 sec, iso 400, 100-400 ISLii at 286 mm. Selective dodging and burning to calm the really bright spot and lift the shadows a bit. Thanks for your comments and critiques.

I know this guy!
He's beautiful and cooperative!
Sweet image of this handsome cat.
Slightly soft - a tad more sharpening may help.

I like this a lot, Ed. The large image really pulls the eye into the frame. It feels like you're right in with the cat. Excellent job on the burning and dodging-it's not at all evident.

Thanks Sandy and Dennis. Sandy, the larger image looks like the focus was very sharp on the nose and eye, but the fore paw is indeed a bit soft. Probably as much the f5.6 as anything with the long zoom lens.
