The Under 'Cat' Scores A Knockout!

That's IT! That's All there is folks! This fight is O-verrr! The challenger stuns the Champ with a decisive right paw at 2 minutes and 12 seconds of the fourth round...

Wednesday was simply a beautiful day in Pittsburgh, sunny, 78F, breezy. I work ten minutes from the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquariam. I finish work about 11:30....AM! I'd received a 70-200mm f/2.8L IS rental lens the day before. I really needed to practice with it before my shoot next week. Need I say more?

Admittedly, a flawed photo. At times it's been more like learning twists and turns than a 'curve'. Perhaps it's a quirk of my character or some sort of defense mechanism but too often I find myself drawn to my flawed photos. This one nearly made me laugh out loud. Next time I hope I'll choose a faster shutter speed. Until then, hope you get a smile out of it. Comments and critique welcome. Thanks for looking!

I think the shutter speed is good on this one. The blur shows action in the head...it makes the shot.:thumb

Hey, thanks guys (that would be the Pittsburghese all inclusive male / female guys). I appreciate your comments. I've been awed, inspired and amused by so many of your posts... It's nice to have something to contribute of my own.

Your photograph inspires me........I love seeing someone capture nature in play and rest.....thats what I try to aim for in my progession ...playfulness and "it speaks for itself" stuff .
