Typical cat!
But a great capture, Scott. I love it. g.

This is a beautiful capture Scott but I find it kind of sad that a regal animal should spend its life only dreaming of the open bundu. . .

Scott,
Absolutely love the shot. Awesome sharpness. Nice kittie kat. I would have never thought to use a Macro lens. I will give this a go at Taronga Zoo when in Sydney at August. Cheers, fozzie
When people ask what equipment I use - I tell them my eyes.
being a macro lens had nothing to do with it...
The 105 had the right reach and having a f/2.8 meant that I could shoot open and the glass and associated smudges just disapeared! This was taken at taronga... Hint: Go on sunday and go early!! The great unwashed arrive at about 11.30 am and you get queues 3 deep at popular enclosures light the lions den... New page

Or on a weekday or when it's a little overcast (or both). The great unwashed hate wet weather and they work during the week 
Edit: Scott - forgot to comment. I like the shot and the composition a lot. One little niggle is it seems a little warm - but then that may have been the light. Peter

Stubbsy, Id say it's the light as MHD suggested getting there early. It's like the shot of the Kite I took on the weekend. During normal light it's pure white, when the sun is low in the sky it goes a golden yellow. I tried adjusting the WB in NC but the golden color still comes through. No point trying to correct something if it's the way you actually viewed it.

It was strange light, dappled sun around the subject with very blue sky... almost all the light hitting her was reflected off something...
This is the final version after much indescision on what to set the WB to in a raw converter (I cant believe I used to shoot jpeg) New page
