Love that intense and intelligent stare and the composition with that out-stretched tail is excellent.

This is superb. The tail at that angle really balances the shot and the eye contact is bob on. Brilliant :toast:

Definitely the best yet; the tail sets this shot apart. I must admit I was convinced about the colours too start with but the more I look at it the more certain I am that they are just right. I don't what other shots you have on your hard drive, but this would stand out from the crowd on mine that's for sure.

Detail is stunning and love the eye contact. I also love the two you sent me. Just send Foxy up here instead :biggrin: I can see more prizes on the way :wink: :wink:
