Oh, yes- it was!

Wow great shot. Curious, did you try a portrait crop on just the cat?

Not yet- will now tho!

Didn't have any space up top or down below to proportionally crop the whole thing, so your re-orientation would be the only way. Had the 200-500 mounted when this transpired and 200 was a bit much.

I like them both but I like the first better. It sets the scene better.

Thanks! The light was cool. Some shots are carefully planned and some just spontaneously appear.

Great timing to get the sun on the face.

Thanks, Gary. I was quite happy to be at the right place at the right time!
