Hello NatureScapers:

Its good to see so many early motif contributions. This is an image made at Triple D ranch during a STL workshop a couple of months ago. Andy the cougar, on the chase..cropped to pano to accentuate the effect.

Thanks for looking and any comments or suggestions.

Nice one Dennis. He was not easy to shoot as he was always moving. Nice choice on the crop.

Dennis, great action shot that accentuates the power of this guy. I'm glad Andy wasn't headed in my direction.

Good shot Dennis, this really shows the power and strength in the shoulder muscles and hind quarters and the front toes splayed to grasp and pull the ground ready for the next leap.

Very good catch and perfect for the pano crop.

Perfect amount of blur to give the image a dynamic feel. Pano works for me as well.

Nice shot. :)

Great pan blur. The exposure and composition is really nice. Way to go Ace.

The pano crop enhances the power and muscles of this guy!

Nice!

Really great shot here, Dennis. It really shows off his muscle tone, and that guy must have really been moving to get this much blur at 1/250 -- looks like you had perfect technique.
