Wonderful capture David. Fantastic eyes. If there wasn't a fence there you might have been dinner......Well done, Cheers Al.

It was always said of him, that he knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the knowledge. May that be truly said of us, and all of us! And so, as Tiny Tim observed, "God Bless Us, Every One! --Charles Dickens

You have captured the mystery of the cat. Superb photo! Of course, being a cat lover, I may be slightly biased.

wait.. is this a national geographic shot? :)) no, it's even better!

this is a high quality image with tremendous details! although the leaves are blurry, its face is fascinating. and this is a look i won't forget, believe me! also, a great contrast between those shocking and astonishing eyes and the rest of his head. the framing is also a great job, black background fits perfectly and forms even greater contrast!

it certainly makes a breathtaking desktop! thank you for posting this magnificent image! :o) favourites and highest marks. :)

Just came across this in the voting booth. Great shot, makes ya wonder if that is a real wild cat or just somebody's tabby. Kind of serves as a reminder that out beloved housecats are also predators. HIgh marks... *Bow*

A once in a lifetime shot. This is so cool; 10/10 and into the faves.

The creepy thing is, I was walking in rose gardens in Christchurch not that long ago....but I 'spose the only thing you have to worry about there are the locals :D *jk*

Your photo came up when I logged on today. Those glaring eyeballs caught my attention right away. They sent chills up and down my spine. It's obvious that others like this super capture as well. Good framing and focus.
