Believe me when I tell you, but this has just printed to A3 and it looks bloody fantastic!


It's a jaguar, captive admittedly, at the South Lakes Animal Park in Cumbria, England. I did an edit too, where I "burnt the grass" brown - made it look a bit more "Patagonian" if you know what I mean, but this is the original version you're seeing below.

    Thank you both. And I'm sure the beast is a big softie, but I'd never like to go in and find out for sure! :)

    Hi Paul,

    Really beautiful capture here. Beautiful sharpness and depth of field. I love the look on the cat's face. Looks like it is trying to remember something, perhaps when it had its last meal or perhaps whether you would make an appetizer or a main course!

    Haha! Thanks you two.

    Stumble - next time I'll have to take you along as canon fodder... :)

    Cheers.

    It was close to noon - I suppose a nap is probably the order of the day around that time. thumb.gif
