[June 3th] How a lion sees a zebra

I was fascinated by the fact that my zebra photo was demonstrably sharp, and yet it looked blurry when I stood back an looked at it. So then, thinking along the lines of evolution and prey hiding from predators I investigated cat vision a bit.

Cats *do* see color, but only some blue and green - no red. This is my shot at lightening and dulling the blue/green and darkening the reds to show how a lion might see a zebra.

Of course, a real lion would immediately notice the swishing tail, since cats are very attentive to motion!
