KILLER PORTRAITS How did you get them? Were they behind fences? I can never get tigers or lions as they are always behind an ugly fence.
Both are winners Lisa as all your images are.
Have a blessed eve. #8101356

Kathryn Wesserling November 05, 2009

What a contradiction is in both images. Fiercely Gentle or Softly Fierce. Both versions - especially, the tighter crop - are stunners. #8107478

Thank you all for the wonderful comments and title suggestions.
Kathy W.: What a great observation/ interpretation of the different crops!
Love the titles, too!
Kathy C.: Yes, this beautiful cat was behind a fence. If you look closely (on the right side lip and cheek --secret's out -- you can see blurred areas where the fence showed a bit.)
Jane: Love your titles, too!

I really appreciate each of your visits!
Blessings, Lisa♥ #8107501
