Like the patterns on this one. Also like the leg positions. This guy looks like he could use a few good meals.

What makes this shot is the illusion of movement created by the raised legs plus you can see them without the interference of long grass. I agree with Steve it certainly needed a feed.

Lovely comp walking into space, and love the raised foot off the ground. Sharp where it counts, and I also like the DOF in this. Great capture Robert.

Love the angle and pose. It certainly looks like being without a meal for some time. I am sure it is exciting watching one in the wild.

[Lana Hays]

It's a wonderful angle on the Bobcat and my favorite part is the blurred, raised foot that gives a real sense of movement. This may have been your only chance but......you sure made the most of it.

I like the low angle and the little bit of blur shown in the front paw. Nice image.
