Lynx inspecting footsteps

[Krijn Trimbos]

Due to my computer being out of order for a couple of months I couldn't post/comment a lot, sorry for that.....

Anyway this one is from my trip to the arcitic Norway. We had the pleasure to photograph these animals in their enormous enclosures. If you would stay really still, they would follow their normal routine. This female was inspecting some of the male's footprints. Why I don't really know, maybe because she was in heat....:confused:
Taken in very early morning light.

Hope you like it,

Hi Krijn,
I like the comp you've captured here. The tentative steps and investigative look at the footprints go well with the way she's coming out of the woods on the right. I also like the way the trees wrap around the right side and top of the image. The bluish cast to the snow in the BG woods adds to the feel of the environment but I think it may be a tiny bit strong in comparison with the bright, sunlit FG.

This is a beautiful animal that you captured well. The light is a bit harsh but still a great image.
