Description
Padfoot the ocelot in the Phoenix Zoo. The poor thing fell off a tree when he was younger and broke his leg and collar bone. He's made a full recovery. An example of new hope.Related content

Nothing useful to say, great use of soft focus and taking advantage of the natural light.

Well.. this particular display had pyrex in the sleeping area. He was sleeping when I got there and he was just looking out the window because he heared food outside. Right after I took this picture, he ran outside where there are bars everywhere and wire mesh. Also, I was at 70mm at the time, so that helps out. Didn't need the 300mm because I don't think there was enough light for a clean pic and it just wasn't necessary.

Really stunning. The light really helps get across that majesty and beauty. Wonderful as usual.
