Good post editing work!

Background looks a bit distrating imo.

Great work on this.

Another great shot from you Sascha...!!!!
But i think that the wire fence is a little distracting too..!!!!
Still a great shot, love the detailes, and color....!!!!

Nice kitty by the way.....!!!!!!

nice capture.. well done

NIce B&W, a shame the right ear falls off a bit. You did a good job on the fence dude! Top makrs!
Jos

YEAH!! Great capture!!!! It´s a real thundercat!!
Muy buena imagen!!

great capture! the vertical line on the right and what looks like a chain-link fence on the left are distracting.

Agreed with those that commented on the blurred areas caused by shooting through the chain-link fence, but an impressive capture nonetheless. Good post-processing as well. Nice one, Sascha.

Wow would not have known there was something on the way!
I agree about the distracting line but otherwise a great shot
I just love the expression

Good use of DOF to diminish the fence. An overall good capture!

Very cool capture Hope u was on the rigth side of a fence ...

Wow!
great capture Sascha!
excellent gray tones, cool work

Beautiful work¡¡¡¡¡And the tiger is so powerful¡¡¡+10

Good expression (well, not for the prey...)

Given the conditions you used your camera cleverly. The area where the 'fence effect' is still evident and thus distracting is from his right eye to top of the head.

The black stuff that cuts his left ear is also annoying. I would have suggested a very close-up crop focusing on the eyes and mouth, but then you would probably get 20 comments complaining about cutting his ears (possibly including one from me)

Good job.

agree with moser, good shot!

Nice capture of this cat's fierceness. Good editing, but there is still a general sense of blurriness to the whole thing that distracts from the impact.

Very nice timing on this capture!
I would like to see some more sharpness on the fur and some less noise on the backround. Still, a beautiful photo!

The normal 'golden rule' of course is to focus on the eyes - but here we're looking at the image from the point of view of the prey - focus is firmly on the teeth leading you into the mouth - i see the eyes as being the start of the background.
The whiskers work very effectively as 'leading lines', starting off slightly blurred and leading the eye in towards the mouth. I'd like to be able to see more detail in terms of texture in the tongue - not sure if you may have lost some detail there during p/p that you could recover... (prob not).

The background looks good to the left, following the line of the cats body - I'm not so comfortrable with the dark area to the right though - it is a bit too powerful and draws attention. You could try for an off centre crop removing that area and going for a more 'arty' interpretation... or for a really dramatic crop you could consider filling the frame with the face only, cropping from the sides and keeping only the central third of the image. Just some alternatives...

Finally I have to mention my 'pet bug' of disliking text actually on the photograph - at least in this case its neat and not too overpowering but if it must be there i prefer to see it included in the frame.

It's a powerful image and very well captured. Good work.

you are great mate.

Thanks a lot for all your comments!
very appreciated.

buenisimo!

I absolutely love cugars
