    Default Bobcat 2015

    We were fortunate enough to photograph this bobcat (same one as last year) again this year on my recent winter tour. Pretty sure this is a young female now 2 years old. She very seldom looks at the people who enjoy watching her hunt waterfowl along the river.

    Image was cropped 12% for composition and I cloned out a couple distracting branches upper left....

    Loving the foot-up pose here and the setting in the snow, Dale.
    Not much to be said here, as I understand it this is a special sighting so I'm sure you guys enjoyed every moment...

    Like the pose and the simple composition of this image. Nice to have such a great looking, cooperative model.

    Hi Dale - Nice look at her with a clean bg and walking pose. Something caught her attention too. I like the cooler tones and slight blues coming through in the snow.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi Dale, the white environment really gives nice standout to the subject. Like the slight look to the right and the bent, raised front paw giving that 'paused' moment. Like the subtle hollows, peaks & troughs in the snow.

    Lovely walking pose from the cat. The Bobcat really pops from the surroundings. I would have preferred to see more of the left eye. Also I preferred tones, detail and textures Rachel got from hers, this one s a little coarse and lacking the same tonality.
    Amazing sighting.... TFS Robert

    Nice setting for this beautiful feline. The concentrated gaze and the raised paw add a lot of interest

    Thanks for sharing
