The greenish cast on this one is a bit unusual for you, but the composition is terrific.

Amazing. I'll have to try this myself. All I need is an elephant and an international beauty queen and a location with um, yeah... back to shooting cats and flowers.

Very clever and beautifully executed. Definitely an image to be proud of. Underrated at 4th IMO.

This is what you call a good old fashioned unfair advantage. Nobody else stood a chance. Congrats on blowing away your personal best!

Much ado about nothing. If you ask someone if a lynx is an example of wildlife they'll say ABSOLUTELY, but a stray siamese cat would get hammered by voters even if it had never seen a house in its life.

Originally posted by Simms: Its an amazing capture but you havent really said what this "hostile environment" was.

I explained it on my last entry. The enclosure dates back to the early 1900's (the zoo started with PT Barnum's circus animals), and is constructed with heavy iron bars on the front and back that are difficult to blur away. There's another fence 8 or 10 feet in front of the bars, while a roof and the surrounding trees limit the available light. The only area that allows good lighting away from the bars and any artificial structures is confined to just a few square feet, although the catchlights a couple of people mentioned were a natural opening in the trees behind me.
