Back Yard Bobcat

[Dave Walz]

Here is a picture of one of our local predators. I believe this is the same bobcat the was just a cub last summer. Sometimes Momma still hunts with it.

Cannon 5D Mark II
500 mm f4 lens w/ 1.4 extender
Comments are appreciated.

Good looking cat and not easy to photograph !!!

Wold give a little room all around if you have it and increase contrast a bit, sure hope you have other encounters. Tough bg but one image I would not mind having !!!

The background is rough. This cat tend to hide on the edge of the underbrush, in the shade. I had a tough time with exposure. You know i agree about giving more room around the edge. It is a weakness of mine that I just want to show the subject and not his environment. It is something that I will just have to work on. I have several other Bobcat pictures on my website at
myphotographybydave.com check them out if you get a chance.

Great capture Dave with what I believe is not a common sighting these days in the US?

Hi Dave - Thanks for sharing this bobcat image. Not the best of conditions but I love to see any image of a critter that has eluded me forever. Look forward to seeing more of this guy.

Very nice capture that would benefit from a bot more contrast or increasing the midtones. Thanks for sharing and you could take advantage of our size limits to make the image bigger for posting.

Cheers,

Great opportunity. We have a family behind us, but they are so elusive we only hear them never see them. I agree about more room.
