Geronimo, Cougar @ Jungle Cat World
One of my favourite photos of Geronimo, that I took on my second visit to Jungle Cat World in August. Totally fell in love with this little guy (although I'm well aware of the fact that he's grown a LOT since then lol). His eyes just captivated me, so shiny and blue... simply beautiful!

I loved this pose, he was crossing his arms, and looking at me, just before deciding to get up and chase around Hunter and Katja (a wolf pup and lynx cub). Plus, this was by far, one of my favourite days ever. So much fun!!!

This photo is very stunning. I honestly don't know where to begin on how amazing this photo is, so if my critique is all over the place, forgive me. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="16" alt=":blush:" title="Blush" />

First of all, I love Geronimo's pose here. He looks very laid back, with his leg crossed over his body, and his chin resting on it. He also has that lovely, half-asleep look in his eyes, as if to say "I'm very content at the moment". <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/y/y…" width="17" height="15" alt=":yawn:" title="Yawn" />

The colours are fantastic as well. What really drew me to the photo was Geronimo's eyes, and how they were a dark, ocean blue. There is amazing detail in them, which is a good attribute for the focal point. The entire photo is extremely detailed as well, and I love how you can see all of the different colours in the fur.

The only minor thing in this photo that you might want to fix is the whirl of fur on the bridge of Geronimo's nose; you may want to make it more uniform like the rest of his nose... I found it a bit distracting.

Overall, this photo is definitely one of the best cougar shots I've seen in the past few months. I simply adore it!
