Malta Cat: The Tiger - a photo on Flickriver

            This is by far the best shot I've ever made. The sun was coming from behind, making this perfect exposure possible. I was very patient until the cats get used to me and the sound of the camera. This guy was quite curious about the big wide angle lens. And this is how I would describe the look: curious and waiting.
Shooting with 35mm from below, the cat is only 20cm away from the lens was luck, because the cat sits on a wall, so I could stand, too and had a chance to compose the picture via live view. Thank you very much for your kind and sweet comments. Enjoy!
