imho left eye as we see it is spot on... right eye looks slightly to cooked i would be interested to hear what others think

[CT]

I got this shot in the Amazon Basin in '98. I was on foot in pouring rain when I was suddenly confronted by this feller and he looked pretty ******ed off. I pulled out my Swiss Army Knife and showed him the thing that gets boy scouts out of horses hooves and he knew not to mess with me and slunk away. :bat:

http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/gallery/data/530/pussy.jpg


OK then, it was Chester Zoo and I cloned out the fence. :D

[IanC_UK]

right eye is a bit tricky as it has multiple hues in it, blooming big cats ! cant have 2 eyes the same ;)

Not sure if it's already been mentioned, and i apologise if everyone already knows but.......big cats always lick their lips before yawning. Nice bit of info if your waiting for that shot, gives you a bit of notice.

Not too sure if I've already posted this one, but it's one of my favourites from this year, especially as it was shot through glass.

Wow - some excellent photos there - I'm embarrassed at mine. Sorry - haven't had time to resize mine yet, but have managed to load them all to my picasa web album (all 400!!!). What are the rules on putting a web album link in?
