Serval

This is a Serval eating a baby duck. This picture was taken at a zoo. I happened to be in the right place at the right time to capture this beautiful cat in a moment where it probably felt free. I don’t normally like seeing animals eating each other, but that is the way life is in the wild.

I entered this photograph into a judged gallery and into one of Photographers Forum’s yearly contest. I got accepted in both places. I even became a finalist in the contest among the thousands of entries they received. This picture is now printed in that years’ book of winners and finalists. I never expected this photograph to go so far, but now other people can see a moment of the sometimes cruel beauty of life the way I did that day.
