Best of, is always hard for me I like a lot, most wont score well here, dont really mind about the score etc etc so this is in the middle, I like it a lot, it may do well at DPC.
My new favorite lens, so handy and super sharp for a 10X zoon it is unbelievable the images that this monster lens pulls out.

Unbelievable indeed! You have certainly set an almost unattainable bar in animal photography! But I love it. Something to stretch and reach for -- even if attaining art like this is out of reach :)
Great low angle and the eye are magic. Funny out of focus background which seems odd and breaks a bit the scene yet the cat is till isolated well. Funny frown on the face giving it a rather odd look unlike what you would expect from a cat like this
Beautiful. I'm sure this will do well, though a part of me questions the amount of color saturation necessary to make photos pop and stand out of the crowd -- it creates an air of artificiality.
I'd quarrel a little with the seemingly over-sharp treatment, but, it really does nothing to detract for me. Colors are great, pose is regal, and the bg blur is over the top. Good luck!
beautiful capture! i do not know if you have taken this shot in her ambient or in park, but the result is great... such look she has! Compliments, i like it very much.
Eyecandy alert! :) Neat looking image, although it does have that "topazed" look to the fur and grass- Not that I dislike the effect, just looks processed a bit heavy for me (I think this might largely be due to the somewhat obvious noise suppression on the rear leg, making it look way too smooth.).
Great detail and colour. Might have gone with a tighter crop on this myself, perhaps to get away from the centred composition. Love the eyes... they really pop out.
Now... please bear with me... I'm revisiting a little comment experiment I conducted in the 2009-03 Free Study... something like K10DGuy's comments, but with a twist... the twist being, the story will move from one photo to another within the challenge... also, I don't select just a few photos I start at the first and end on the last as determined by DPC random order assigned to me, with a single sentence for each photo... should be interesting... and you're photo is #10 in the series

The animal kingdom on the other hand were eagerly waiting for this event, and had been waiting for some time.
Its a great clean capture of a big cat, although it is a little static and directly in front, but then again, its not like you can ask her to move a little for the capture. However, the blur of the background is a bit too overdone for me and makes the image look a little fake for me.
