This is also excellent, what a great low angle, love the eye contact, head angle and open mouth. I find the lower right hand side a bit tight and although exposure is perfect, I wonder if fill flash could have improved this excellent image TFS![]()
Good looking cat and pose Ken. Agree with a little more on rhs. Techs look good with good sharpness. Well done.

I am assuming full frame Ken and since he is sitting still a quick pan to the right and another image gives you something to stitch together to solve the tightness of the RHS. I do this all the time with the bears in Alaska. Even though we are on foot and amongst them, we move as a group so easier to chose the pan, shoot and stitch later option.
impressive specimen indeed Ken - always amazing to see the bulky stocky frames of the males vs the finesse and grace of the females.
love the POV here and a tad tight on RHS as mentioned, though I would be very happy with this one...
Ken - nice pose with eye contact and open mouth. The green grass and tree set him off nicely. Agree that it's a little tight on the rhs.
TFS,

Thanks for the comments.
I do have more room on RHS but it is a rather unfortunate piece of termite mound with a rather uninteresting "shrub" on it, the removal of this would require too much " manipulation" for my liking
Great looking cat. Might also look good as a vertical pano with a crop just behind the shoulder.
Ken I love the eye contact, open mouth and exposure. You can certainly see the power of this male in his bulky frame.
Great light and pose Ken.
terrific pose and VWD Job , less space on RHS don't bug me
