Oh dear...such a beautiful animal, how can it be caged? You DOF is perfect as is the tone, imo.

Ray, I don't think it's at peace - just waiting Not the image Apple put on the box of its latest operating system, is it?

Nice capture Scott. It's hard to put my finger on it, but he doesn't quite look bored or bummed out; more like well fed, and mischievous. Great shot.

Thanks, folks.
I cant decide if he is resigned, relaxed, bored or what.

I would prefer a bit more contrast to accentuate the spots and fur texture. This would really improve an already great capture.

Really cool shot and nicely processed. I probably would have increased the contrast a tad as well, but you resisted the temptation and got a nice result.
