[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The serval (Leptailurus serval) is a medium-sized African wild cat: length 85 cm, plus 40 cm tail. It is a slender animal, with long legs and a fairly short tail. The tall, oval ears are set close together. The pattern of the fur is variable. Usually, servals are boldly spotted black on tawny. The "Servaline" form has much smaller, freckled spots. In addition melanistic servals are known to exist (see black panther). White servals are white with silvery grey spots and have only occurred in captivity.

Que cores e detalhes maravilhosos. Ótima profundidade de campo.

Nice clear image, maybe just a little bit too vivid?

Ottima compo.
Buoni colori e dettagli.

Hi Annick,
Beautiful, well composed shot of this feline. Colours are fantastic and the detail great. I particularly like the DOF with the blurred body putting more emphasis on the beauty of the face.
Well captured and TFS

Hi, Annick.
Good productivity. Soon we don't have cats in the world, that you have not photographed.
Nice image with good sharpness and colors.

Wonderful details and comp. The green BG looks very good with the cats coloring.

Hello Annick,
Beautifully managed portrait with good POV and DOF. (:
Only one little grumbling: the contrast between serval and background is too high in my opinion. Green is the animal-eater here.

Tfs, all the best,
Tairi

Hi Annick

I love the stripe down the nose on these cats. Nicely taken. Good colour and POV. :-)
