Big Cats in the Sun (Wildlife Heritage Foundation - Kent - UK - www.whf.org.uk)

Dear Roberto, OOOO I'm first I wonder how ;o) Oh your superb pictures brought back so many memories of my wonderful day at the WHF and now I know I have to go back there soon. It truly is a wonderful place and I'm so glad that you have found it also. I have a hunch you might not be able to resist a return visit. Take care now. Love, Jill

Hello Roberto! Did you feel like you were in heaven? I know you love big cats, that's why I ask. I'm glad you had a nice time. You got some lovely shots. Hope no cats rushed you as they did poor Jill! Best, Kris :)

said KrisApplegate 2006.07.20 at 16:59:33 PDT

Really beautiful photography as always and great subjects. Animals aren't easy to photograph, but you really got some good shots. Donna

Hi Roberto, congratulations on another beautiful album. At the time I enjoyed very much Jill's album and now I have another chance to see these animals presented in a beautiful way. Thanks for sharing many beautiful albums recently, I'm sure another feature is just behind the corner... Take care, yair.

Hi Roberto! What a gorgeous album of these wonderful big cats! You have captured them so beautifully! I truly enjoyed this album. Thanks for sharing with us all. Take care my friend, Darlene

said briansbabe2 2006.07.22 at 12:48:11 PDT

Hi Roberto! You have captured some wonderful shots of these Big Cats and your Titles complete the picture! Great actions and expressions in all, but #7 Eye of the Tiger is really stunning! I am sure you really enjoyed your visit there and thankyou for sharing.. Gladys, Western Australia.

said gladysclancy2 2006.07.22 at 22:29:49 PDT

<font color="#000090" > Congratulations on your beautiful album of these magnificent large cats. I particularly like the outstanding work you did with the eyes and those warm colors you were able to capture. You also did a splendid job minimizing the impact on the images of the abundance of lattice fencing material around. <font color="#b00000" > Greetings from Florida, Paul. </font>

Wonderful, Roberto! I havent been here in a bit, I see I have a lot of catching up to do! Bravo, my friend! - claudia

said gardenlady110 2006.08.01 at 20:53:51 PDT

Hi Roberto, I had to leave and return to finish your album. This looks like a wonderful place to visit the big cats. It looks like you can really get up close and personal. You are right, only your best photos go into your albums. Something I'm not always concerned about. Anyway, thank you for stopping by my albums and leaving some paw prints behind. I always appreciate reading your comments and enjoy hearing from you. It appears your summer is treating you well. Happy August to you, Ray

said rrayr55 2006.08.02 at 14:18:41 PDT

said jdsmith01100 2006.08.15 at 06:59:40 PDT

I love the big cats, especially the magnificent tigers. I found your work when a fevorite member of mine posted one of your photos (yawning lemur) as one of her favorite photos) Great work!!

said arina225 2006.08.16 at 01:14:31 PDT

Hi Roberto, sorry for filling your mail box with comments... i guess i got carried away :))), but in any case you only have yourself to blame... i'm a BIG fan of these creatures and your album is just so full of these beauties that i could't help myself! Sorry about that ;) By the way, thank you taking a peek at my album of France. Take care, Marina.

said velvet7777 2006.08.16 at 15:20:58 PDT

i did send in a comment to the webshots support about ya. i hope they decide i am right and do a feature. how could they not??? lol mj

said mjesli 2006.08.16 at 17:02:25 PDT

Superb cat shots and love the captions as always. This is a duh question, I'm sure, but how did you get such great shots without glass or cage between you? Donna

said debkd 2006.08.17 at 04:41:17 PDT

Thank you for that info. And I've done both except on far more docile animals than you were dealing with. I'm amazed they didn't have double barriers so you couldn't even get close to the cage. That was what was confusing me. And by the way my Fair two album is just getting started. Many of my chicken and rabbit shots (that will be added) were done the same way peeking thru the wire, but that was tame stuff compared to your big cats. Thanks again, Donna

said debkd 2006.08.17 at 05:06:06 PDT

Gah, I wish I was competetion for you. That would be in at least another 7 years time, if you can just quit getting better, okay? lol. I am soo excited with my new lens. It and manual focus are helping me actually catch what I am aiming for. Now, if I can just master exposures...:) (Eventually I will dig you up the pics of my daughter meeting a lemur. Not that we EVER break rules at zoos or anything. )So, along with my special mastery of technical mumbo jumbo comes the spectacular inability to express myself on Wednesdays. I meant to say feedback! With all the server problems, I wouldn't really go to the support guys. :)

said mjesli 2006.08.17 at 07:40:41 PDT

Thank you :) It's a sigma ex macro hsm 70-200 with a fixed 2.8 aperture. And I understand what most of that means. Which is also progress. lol. I also got an off camera flash, but it is in for repairs, since I tripped right after I bought it. :)

said mjesli 2006.08.17 at 07:59:05 PDT

Ho dovuto interrompere causa lavoro, non mi sono dimenticato :-P..... Ad ogni modo l'album è molto bello, specie quando dai il tuo meglio nei ritratti ravvicinati, ma insieme anche molto triste. MI stringe il cuore e mi monta la rabbia nel vedere tanti splendidi animali chiusi in una gabbia.... è vero che spesso gli zoo sono un modo per conservare una specie, ma non posso fare a meno di considerarli un altro simbolo della ns incapacità di armonizzarci con il mondo con cui viviamo. Finita la tirata (ovviamente non è con te che ce l'ho)... non posso che RICOMPLIMENTARMI per i tuoi splendidi scatti e per la passione che dimostri! Un ABBRACCIO! Ruggero

said tfrarug 2006.08.18 at 05:37:00 PDT

Dear Roberto, Back for another look and now I look forward even more to my next visit too.Taking pictures of Big Cats now anywhere else just isn't the same eh ? I wish we got sunsets like that everyday in Kent. Take care now, Jill

said jillbatchelor2 2006.08.19 at 06:40:38 PDT

A great capture. I like this pose.

Ciao Roberto, per prima cosa grazie per il tuo carinissimo commento sui miei micetti (fanno meno paura dei tuoi, ma in quanto a grinta si diffendono benissimo! LOL!!!) e poi, circa la tua domanda ... i due fratellini sono di purissima razza "bastarda" ma ho conosciuto la loro mamma e posso assicurarti che è una vera gentilgatta! ;0) A presto, campione!!!

I got a really sweet video of a lion, i'll send it to you by e-mail. Every miss is a loss (then my life must be filled with losses, i'm sorry i can't agree with that!!!) I don't feel like studying, i'll bet you noticed that:)I wonder why people say that college time is the best time of your live.

said Ahruna 6 months 2 days ago

Amazing album. You do great work and have an excellent eye for composition, light and color. We have a similar facility in Indiana, USA that houses over 200 big cats, all rescues from some horror show life or another. Check out my Exotic Feline Rescue Ctr album.
