•  Comment For me, it's a "stunning wild life scene". I like the expression of both cat and lizard and the motion-blurred moving claw which expresses the action perfectly. --Basotxerri (talk) 08:54, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

•  Support Wow! A "Tale of Two Tails". :) I love the whole series, each photo has eye-catching elements. Well done! Btw, cats really are fast when you get motion blur at 1/400 sec. --Cart (talk) 09:08, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
•  Support - Do you feel this is the best of the series? It looks better than the other ones that I looked at closely, and those were also good. I don't understand why the lizard didn't run away. Was it eventually eaten by the cat? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:19, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

•  Support Thank you very much Basotxerri for the nomination ! I'm happy this one was chosen from the series because it is also my favorite, for the same reasons. Ikan Kekek, that's a good question, why the lizard didn't run away ? This cat often eats small geckos, always after playing with them, like in this picture. But this lizard was perhaps a bit big for its appetite. No clue why it didn't try to escape, as all wild reptiles normally should do. Just the cat had it between its teeth a few seconds earlier, then probably it was dizzy -- Basile Morin (talk) 10:10, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
