Hi Paul,
Nice capture. Love the angle...low to the ground at her eye level. The dof is really good as to show she is hiding in the grass...waiting...Also, the blurred background and frontground allow her to "pop" from the environment. And, I like the composition, she's off centered enough to give a sense of motion. Good colors, too... All these things is why I like it more than the other version which, in my opinion, is too centralized and far away, as the details of her fur and face is one of the key interests. Pretty kitty!
Take care!
Richard

I agree with Richard and prefer this version. I like very much blured flowers in foreground and 'half' of cat protruding out of grass.

This is a great action shot of Mina Paul, I love the blurred flowers in the foreground, and the sharpness of her fur. She looks very intent on something, I hope she got what she was after. I like this version better than the other, I'm not sure why either, maybe the flowers in the foreground. Well done.

I hunting cat is a beautiful sight (unless you're a bird lover). The POV is just great in this photo, I might think she is about to pounce on me!

About to pounce. I wonder what it saw. I like the horizontal composition, and the blurred foreground. Nice one Paul.
