Good Mornin' Xavier!Your shot of the big cat is "purr-fect"! Nice detail, good light and excellent composition. :-)
The bird is, I believe, a Starling. Again, perfect focus, with great detail in the segmented ring around the eye.
Well done! Cheers! --- David Young, Logan Lake, CANADA Limited Edition Prints at: www.furnfeather.net Personal Web-site at: www.main.furnfeather.net Stock Photography at: http://tinyurl.com/2amll4
