This looks like a catnip moment for sure. I understand about tracking the animal with a long lens. It is difficult to frame a running shot like this, so as the General says, zoom out and crop later gives the best chances to get the shot.
I like the action. It makes you wonder what they are imagining when the act like this.

Whenever I try motion-panning on animals, I find I'm zoomed-in too far and can't get them in the frame with any reliability. With more MP available to you, I suggest pulling back to a little more wide-angle setting and cropping in later -- that's certainly what I'm planning next time I'm trying it.

kind of cool - you gotta love those small town yards - not that big cities don't have, they just seem more common in rural America.

Looks like shes peeling out. Wonderful how the blur adds motion and the feeling of wildness cats possess. This could be a large cat after its prey in Africa. Gives the same impression.

I like the processing...I wasn't familiar with LucisArt (I've seen it mentioned a few times), but I had to check it out...this effect seems similar to HDR processing.
