Oh..... My..... God.......

They rock! They are photos but the smallness of the photos (or did you paint them? I honestly can't tell) you posted make it look like you painted them with is doubly-cool.

All I can say is say thank you for whoever made you post them, because these are some of the best I've seen in a while... keep going!

PS the first one is my favorite

[Lawrie]

Aww thanks! The reason they're so small is that I used TIMG tags to avoid messing up peoples computers. If you click them you'll get a bigger version
And I love that one too! I got so many of that particular Jaguar, heres another for you

You have a real thing for cats XD.

These are awesome. I really like the first three you posted. Good lighting, sharp edges, great composition, awesome.

The last one is a bit washed out. But it has potential.

Love these. Keep up the good work!

[Lawrie]

Yeah. I work with Big Cats so am kind of addicted to them
Thanks! Here's another NON CAT one

The latest update is good, although it needs more. I'm not sure what, but it just needs some...SHAZAM! or something like that . I do love the footprints and the person on the left. The sky and the water are combined excellently. They fit perfectly, even if the sunlight's glare off of the water is bright.

The other big cat pictures are just the cutest things . And it's so cool that you get to work with them. Although, I think I'd be too scared if they'd like come and attack you or something, even if they're trained. Ahh well, one way to die XD.

I love the third photograph of the jaguar. It's up close, and you can tell so much about them from that angle. You can see eyes which I like a lot. I love its tail going to the side like that. It gives the jaguar more character.

The first one is really unique. I love the bright blues and the water flowing like that. You must have an awesome camera, because mines worth nothing. It couldn't take good pictures of the water like that. And I love how the jaguar is looking down at the water. Even the flowers (whatever they are) floating on the water is really interesting.

PLEASE have more updates!

(P.S. What is your job?)

[Lawrie]

Haha thanks!! That person on the left is acually my sister! And if you look closely enough my parents are on the other side XD
Well the cat ones weren't taken on mine. I borrowed my Dads Leica V-Lux 1 for those. It's a 10MP 12x zoom camera, which is awsome. All of these cat ones needed that zoom, and the jaguar close up was cropped from about a 20x zoom. My camera took the firework and the sea landscape thing. Its just a small Sony DSC T10 point and shoot, though i'm upgrading it to a Nikon DSLR hopefully soon
Thanks! I'll need to upload more to photobucket now!
And I normally work with the CCF (cheetah conservation fund) so have become pretty much attached to cheetahs. I've worked with Tigers and Jaguars before in zoos though, and I have to say the power of those animals is hard to beat. These animal photos were actually taken in Chester Zoo! The firework was at the local fireworks show on November 5th and the seascape was at Southend!

Awesome lighting and the water overlapping is awesome, but what is that, exactly? Never been to Britain but I hope to sometime before I die . Anywho, the sun on the last two updates are amazingly awesome, especially the clouds and the blue sky here and there. I love sunset picture so much, like these that you have on here.

And yes, please more firework pictures .

[Creme Fraiche]

Wow! You have some talent Lawrie.

My favorite has to be the firework (and yes more fireworks would be awesome) and the last picture you just showed.
