Re: Big cat portraits
If possible, maybe a fraction more space at the top and particularly at the bottom to show more reflection.
But you could have been constrained by the need to exclude some items. In which case, this is still a good shot.

Re: Big cat portraits
Really an excellent shot. Why do we spend so much money on expensive lenses if you can get this kind of quality shooting through security glass?
Well done.

Thank you all. I am glad that the picture is pleasing.

That's a good one Dan
With all the people there I was lucky to have a position where reflections of the "cage glass" did not show. And yes Geoff I would have preferred to have more space above and below. This time it was not possible, but I will most certainly try another day with less crowd.
Thanks again, Erwin

Re: Big cat portraits
Very nicely caught Erwin. Couldn't you just give it a big hug? Trouble is that it might just hug you back.

Re: Big cat portraits
Magic shot, simple as that.
Dan's comment re the shooting through glass made me laugh and then we hear the long debates on the use of protection filters
