Wow, what a fantastic shot. I can only imagine how exciting it must have been to be this close. My only suggestion would be to do a very slight crop to the right side to get rid of the fuzzy white line (grass?) near the tail.

Great job! :toast:

Yes it was an experience to remember and I got several nice images from it. Good idea about the slight crop, thanks.

Cheers for the nice comments :toast:

My favourite big cat Paul and a really nice image. It looks as though taken in shade so perhaps you could apply a little warming to heighten the yellow in the coat. Of course it could just be my monitor in work.

absolutely gorgeous and a classic state! My favourite cat too. Just hope if I'm lucky enough to get close to one again that I can employ better skills than the last time! :smile:
