Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied.

#2 is breathtaking.

:agree:

I think the last is the best, almost studio like lighting but a really nice composition and scenery - I would not know its in a zoo!

can i suggest a bit more contrast in #3?

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

Great shots there....#3 could do with a bit more contrast, and #4 could do with a bit more colour saturation and be a bit brighter. I love ALL of them, really great shots that show off these big cats!

Nice work Fozzie,
the cats as always sharp as and love the backgrounds I especially love #4 because of the position - nice to see he made the long hours you patiently wait worth while

Foz,

Were you telling my jokes again, in #2?

Very bloody nice work here.

As we've come to expect from you, of course.

Thank you for your comments.

Fortunately the weather conditions were in my/our favour for most of the day, overcast and the light was more even late afternoon through to closing, but we went into overtime a little :lol:
