What’s Your Preference?

I shot this lovely guy in a big cat reserve. It was thru a fence wich is why some of it has a lighter color to it.

Wow! What a beautiful cat! Actually at first I thought you had applied a soft blur vignette, so I don't mind the intrusion of the fence...makes it look sort of ethereal or dreamy.

As far as your subject goes, I really like the bright sunlight on her head and wow that facial expression is great! You sure snapped at the right moment!

The green grass on the right is a nice addition of color and also frames your subject really well.

My only critique is to note that the image as a whole seems a bit dark.

Other than that, excellent job and thanks for sharing! I love cougars!

Nice timing on the cats signature smile. I checked out the xif and your exp.value was up at 10. Maybe you could have shot it with a little higher ISO. I like the bokeh. It is a beautiful cat and I love big cats.
