In a word AMAZING!

Love Bobcats, we have lots of them here in the desert area of Phoenix and surrounding mountains. Had one walking down the street about 2 weeks ago, crazy...

Like the shot, good exposure just would have liked it if the bobcat turned toward you to get some kind of eye contact or near eye contact. Beautiful cat, looks big!

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

Nice big cat, good walking pose and environs. would have loved a better head angle. Well done.

[Neil Burton]

Excellent, love the colours and exposure on the snow!

Lovely, with the situation, you did the best you could have. For the bc to have looked at you would have been perfect, but I like that this is an image of a cat going about its business. Awesome indeed.

Lovely bobcat, well exposed.
The mid-step pose is good as is the environment. It just lacks a slight head turn that would have taken it to another level. and the photo is a bit small.

[Morkel Erasmus]

Fantastic sighting and setting, Chas!
The pose just rocks too...

[Neil Burton]

Awsome work, mid stride and nailed the exposure. Nuff said. :)

Great timing, exposure, and subject. The only thing I'd want to change would be a cleaner snow surface without ski tracks. But that's not something you can easily control.

Congratulations on a great find and capture, too. I am soooo jealous! I really like the pose of the Bobcat and you did a great job on the snow, too.

You mean the wildlife tracks. No skiing on that side of the river, wink.
Why do so many want nature to be sterile, and unrealistic?

My apologies. Knowing what they are makes a difference, and I wouldn't "clean them up".

What a great sighting and the capture is first rate. Excellent, Chas.

Nice exp. and environment. That Bobcat makes our Florida version look like kittens!
