Some Big Cats

[johnaalex]

Tenikwa is a big cat sanctuary near Plettenberg in South Africa. Where possible you are allowed inside the cages with the smaller cats and when this is not possible the mesh on the cages is big enough for a lens - a great place for photos!

1) An African Wild Cat (Sigma 150mm 2.8)


2) Leopard (Sigma 150mm 2.8)


3) A Sleeping Caracal (Nikon 85mm 1.4)


4) Getting ready for a nap (Sigma 150mm 2.8)


5) A wide awake serval (Sigma 150mm 2.8)


6) Close encounter with a cheetah

Lovely - I particularly like #2.

Only crit I could give is on the composition:

#3 - Obviously in a difficult position but it's just not a great angle.
#4 - The OOF stuff on the left is too distracting for me.
#5 - I think it would have been better landscape and not cutting the Serval in half.
