This is a male bob cat we spent over an hour with. First we spotted him half a mile away out in the field. He hopped off on a log, and then went on patrolling his patch. Eventually he came closer to the road, lifted his leg to mark a bush, and then hopped on this log to clean himself. Unfortunately, his head was barely visible above the log the whole time. Just before he hooped off the log, he raised his head and looked at us for this shot, then he went on back out to the field

Some of you may think this is a bit crunchy. I didn't use Clarity, no contrast added, and very very little sharpening. The RAw file looks fine, sharp.
I used LR CC for the conversion this time. Couldn't get the colors I like in DPP
Thank you for commenting on my previous image.
