    Love the "house cat" pose here from this 3 yr old male leopard that we found one hot evening teamed up with a female in a mating encounter.

    I have never taken a photo at night so don't know how difficult it is but I like the night scene with a cat. It plays on our fear of night and perhaps running into a big cat. He looks thoughtful and is deciding what to do with you.

    Love this against a dark background, the light shows his color nicely, he looks a bit aloof, nice kitty for sure

    Nice "kittykat" pose here Marc, and nice handling of the light/exposure.
    Doesn't look as "wild" as you say here...

    I know it's sitting upright, but I wonder if a very slight CW rotation will work here, as my eye keeps jumping to the diagonal displacement of the feet (I know they are not on the same plane, just wondering if a slight straightening of that "diagonal" will work)?

    A nice, 'statuette' pose Marc, IQ looks good.
