    Johan,

    Great looking animal and I really like the habitat you captured it in - matches the cat's coat well.

    Nest time, give yourself more room in rear as the tail is very close to the image edge. Also, note the bush growing out of the head. I few steps before or after to instance this image was made that distraction would not be there.

    Thanks for posting.

    Great sighting Johann, great to see the cats three feet off the ground. I would try clone the background bush out TFS

    nice one here Johan - not often you see them nicely out in the open like this.
    for me the tightness at the tail is a bigger nit than the bush, which I can live with...that being said I would love it if this were mine :)

    pano crop works well

    Great surroundings for this cat Johan. I'm with morkel here as the lack of space behind cat is much more of an issue the the bush. A canvas extension behind is a very easy thing here taking this fine image up a knotch. Exposure looks good as well as sharpness.

    Johan - I agree with the others. Nice detail, good environment but wish there was more room on the rhs.

    TFS,
    Rachel
