I never got a chance to see one in the zoo. They were hiding. In fact, last summer I didn't see any wolves. That's what happens when you go on a hot day!

Fantastic shot of the little beastie! Aside from the unusually wide skull, one might almost mistake it for a domestic cat, prowling the garden in seach of prey. *loves on the kitties*

Lovely shot. I particularly like how the light plays on the foliage and on the cat itself. For having shot this through glass, it looks incredibly clear, as if you were right there in the enclosure. Nice capture!

I really like this one.
First of all, adorable cat. (Those big fluffy ears FFFF <3) That's pretty much all there is to say on the matter.
Secondly, I like how the foreground is out of focus. It draws attention to the cat.
Overall this is a nice shot.
As a tip for the future, I would suggest trying other angles, like taking a picture of the cat sitting and looking off into the distance, to see if you like the results.

Nice work!

Love it, it's indeed much much sharper already. I especially love the slight reflection of the green on the cat's face and the pose. The light shining through the leaves has a very nice effect as well.

If the light is ok, glass usually doesn't ruin the photos.

that s true and you only have to be close enough to the glass

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Velvet-Paw In reply to PictureByPali [2011-08-08 09:49:54 +0000 UTC]

I always put the lens directly against the glass. That works very well.
