She's stunning. Being a 'cat' person I would say that!
A fantastic pose. She doesn't look wild at all.
Superb detail, the fg and bg are great.
Thank's for posting.

Just sitting there like out normal moggy cat Gert. But this one is much more special. Lovely composition with the light on her. A big difference I notice is that she's leaner, not like our cuddled and protected domestic cats. I never realised that these wild cats were there. Thank you very much for showing her to us.

I see why you like these cats.
Super capture and a wall hanger. You did well with the lighting. The composition is excellent with a touch of green on the bottom.
Beautiful work.
The first thing I said when I saw the thumbnail, "Simba" almost looks like my Cat "Simba" who acts like a lion. He's an old man now, 13 years old and can still hunt very well. Yep, believe me, red ears. :) :)

Hello Gerhard,

It's really great to see you post again! What a wonderful picture! I love the warm colors/light in this photo. Pose is excellent and the composition is also very good. Great POV & DOF. I remember you posting an African wild cat a while ago and you accompanied that photo with the best note I read on TN so far. :) Well done & TFS!

Regards,
Pieter

Yes, I like it very much too, wonderful warm african light and an accurate performance. It looks so imaculate and healthy that I would say it is domestic. Nice work, best wishes.

Hi Gerhard,

An excellent capture of this African Wild Cat. A regal pose, and the side light makes a strong composition. The OOF backround is great. Was that natural, or is that some type of additional blur in post process? I really like it.

Hi Gerhard, it is a beautiful image. Sharp and detailed as usual, great composition, great colours and I just love the directional light. I agree with you that the big cats upstage this one too much. TFS :)

Hi Gerhard!
Did you beat auditors ;-) ?
Lovely picture. I'm not surprised that this is your favourite animal. It looks just ultra cute! Could you send me one of these cats to Poland ;-))) ?

Hi Gerhard,

Superb composition: this cat has a majestic position. It resembles much our ordinary cats :)
The colors are really well returned.
Cordially.

Superbe composition: ce chat a une position majestueuse. Il ressemble beaucoup à nos chats de gouttière :)
Les couleurs sont vraiment bien rendues.

Volgens mij is het een huiskat, grapje.
Prachtige african Cat gerhard. Toch nog even tijd gemaakt om even te ontspannen mijn vriend. geeft niets. Ook ontspannen heb je nodig om te kunnen overleven in deze maatschappij. Goed werk,

Lovely lighting on the pussy-cat, excellent details and composition. It does look so much like an everyday cat, even when I know it isn't! My only nit is the BG, there is something going on there (it's not that distracting), is that sue to the IS on the cat? I've also read that some like it...so I may be in a minority to nit pick it!

Great shot Gerhard.

I am glad I stopped to look who had posted this little puddy cat Gerhard, it nearly lost its ninth life, if you know what I mean.
very nice shot. I agree it is nice to see one of the smaller cats , so much harder to capture because they are normally much shyer. TFS

Very good title Gerhard! The cat in the sun, together with it's majestuous pose are providing a superb image. Beautiful colors showing it's dense fur on the best way. Great catch too, as I guess, they are not so easy to spot. To me, it's a relaxing picture as well. Well done my friend!

Perfect exposure has resulted in a charming portrait.

A great capture - she looks a lot like my housecats, amazing that she is feral. The brow looks heavier and she is very muscular. Nice post!

Looks very cuddly for all it's wildness, I can see why it would mix well with domestic cats. A very nice regal pose, and a beautiful cat, I LOVE cats of all kinds, TFS.
Well done.
