    Nothing not to love, we use their highways, therefore they use ours.

    Looking at it Harshad I might be tempted to open it up a bit, lifting it slightly in the chest (the whites) and try to retrieve some more detail in the face, especially the eyes as the blacks do seem to choke some of the features I feel. Subsequently the whites in the forehead might just need a slight toning down. Even perhaps add some more colour (warmth) within the coat? I respect you thoughts on removal of objects, but do think the image would be cleaner without the dark tree trunk in the BKG.

    The movement in the front paw is a nice touch, and those paws are truly awesome. A lovely looking animal in his prime

    Hope this helps.

    Steve's repost really improves this image. I like how big cats walk with their paw turned inwards and this picture shows it well. I am not a fan of roads in a picture but accept that this is real life.

    No chance of a nice portrait of the two of you then?

    All our cats love the roads too...Its often the only time when we get them to pose fully out in the open (if you know SA Bush). I really like the portrait and Steve's repost really made it pop.

    Love the low perspective, with just the right SS for paw movement Harshad, Steve's repost, especially the eyes, enhances nicely.

    Like perspective and sense of movement.
    Like Steve's eye work, but, other than that repost has almost too much "pop" for me. A bit nitpicky on my part, I'll agree.

    Wonderful image, Harshad. The re-post has opened up the beauty.
