Can you still see me?

Posted by MaryB (Staffordshire, United Kingdom) on 22 June 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

It was amazing to see such a big cat, climb up such a small tree. I would have like the forground focus softer, but I was having trouble finding a clean part of the glass to take the photograph through, that I just took the shot!

Now you can see the advantage of the mimicry! Fantastic shot, the alertness of the animal! He must see a bird of squirrel.

@tyan: Thank you tyan :)
he first hid under the tree, but then he climbed up it, how he managed to balance was incredible, as the tree wasn't all that large!

Rahul from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Oh my..... Mary were you Jane earlier, or with Tarzan at any point of time to get so near to these wild animals, and shoot them with such beauty. Every animal in your shots seems to be posing for you.

How i wish they could do the same for me instead of monkeying around and making me run with the camera behind them LOL!!!!!

22 Jun 2007 10:20am

@Rahul: lol :D you maybe right Rahul, the animals are very kind to me and I just seem to be in the right place at the right time:)
Thank you once again for you very kind comments :)

Your last name wouldn't be Dolittle, would it Doctor? Nice shot! Some times you just have to go with what you get in photography.

Cheers,

Haha if you'd waited hours I don't think you'd have found a better "pose" than this! Its actually really natural, and if you hadn't pointed out the glass I don't think I'd have noticed any difference......love it!
