What IS that creature!?

The exposure looks great, and I love the composition. I really like the clean diagonal line from the top left to bottom center.

Great work, and scary thing! :-)

I love kitties!
Great shot! It would have been nice to have had the opportunity to pul back a tad so his side wasn't cut off. Awesome little critter and captured very nicely!

Agreed with everything Bruce said. Great focus and color, but I wish I could see his whole body.

I do have to say that before I saw it was a sand cat in a zoo, I thought it was a demented housecat.
