It's been a while since I have been able to upload anything, but this photo surprised me so much with how well it came out. This was taken at a "walk-through safari"in Oregon, where they have a rescue and breeding program with various animals (particularly cats). They bring a couple of the young animals out each day for visitors to meet and learn about, which also helps the animals become used to being around people. This was actually taken at mid-day in a fairly open area, so I was quite pleased when I managed to get the background to shadow for the photo... I just hope that I can remember how I did it the next time I get an opportunity!

Kirsten: This is an excellent capture and it's made so by the dark background, the nice side-lighting and the sharp details.

It is not worth an intelligent man's time to be in the majority. By definition, there are already enough people to do that. my images

I should say you'd be pleased with this shot! Detail in the fur is excellent. She looks so soft and almost cuddly. Thanks for sharing, this goes into my cat collection for sure!
