African Wildcat in Kgalagadi Transfortier Park - South Africa

Johan:

Nice picture. How fortunate you are to have access to such lovely creatures.

Jim

Hey Johan,

Agreed with Jim. Question, are you placing the photos in this forum intentionally, or are you looking for a more in depth critique of the photos? ie I am trying to figure out if these should be in the Nature Photography section of the forum.

James

Nice capture.

Composition = I would like to see a bit more above the cat. The crop makes it seem a bit heavy on the right.

Color = The cat blends in almost too much with the background. Yes I know that is why it is colored that way, but it doesn't help the picture. I might try to isolate the cat from the background with some subtle editing.

Exposure = Very nicely captured. No detail lost.

All in all it is a quality shot, just needs a little more thought in the post processing to elevate it to the next level.

Hi Johan,

Nice movement. The cat seems to be almost walking on air when I first looked at it. I agree with Roman about the above/background. The picture lacks scale or depth for me because there is no object to give it reference. However, I love cats and you have captured a beauty.
