Sure. I have to prepare a bunch of photos for stock, so it's on my to-do list over the next few weeks. |

| I gave you a 7. I would have given you a higher score, but the shot was TOO GOOD. I thought the cat was stuffed! hahahaha |

| Beautiful shot Shannon, my personal fav of the challenge. I was off a little bit on placement in my previous comment, but still, top 15 in a HUGE challenge is awesome. Good job! |

Wow! The lighting on this is just SUPERB. Great job.
Back to bump this up. This is National Geographic quality. Such incredible mastry of shadow I've rarely seen before. My personal top pick of the challenge. If I could give an 11 I would. :) |

| Love the colors and the candid capture of this feline. Colors are very rich and the details on the face are sharp enough for you to see all the fine hairs on this wild cat's head. A closer crop or focus such that the composition is filled by just the cat's head would keep the focus on the cat rather than the background. |

| What an amazing photograph of a cat not many people are familiar with. I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure this is an ocelot. The lighting for this really draws the viewer into the cats face, especially those amazing eyes. Definately a 10! |
