Cat Photo Competition 5 2017 : Entry Number 113

Judges Comment

What a truly tremendous and impactful image. The very serious and strong stare of this big cat is riveting, and the shallow depth-of-field and gorgeous bokeh allows him stand out as the singular focus. Although it works wonderfully as a black-and-white image, I'm sure this image would be just as powerful in color. Absolutely stunning image. Nicely done and congratulations! ~ illona

Wow! Thank you very much choosing this photo! Took this photo of our Norwegian Forestcat Esbjerg’s Haribo during a walk in our garden in november 2012. Hi was sitting elevated on the bridge by the pond and endured self-confident the photo-shooting. One of my first picture with Nikon D800E/ Nikkor 24-120 mm Susanne Wunn, Sonsbeck/Germany
