This is cool. I love the low angle and those eyes are mesmerizing.

Great subject, pose and eyes. This also shows the habitat very nicely and the exposure is great. No nits from me. :toast: :toast:

Hi, I think this is a beautiful shot. I would love to hear some background on the setting and the experience of obtaining it. I doubt this was pure luck. Or was it? That is, lucky to be there at the time. Was there stalking by you? Camouflage gear? Any other techniques? It is so rare to even see a couger let alone get a really good composition.

Great shot! Does the (c) in the title indicate that this is a shot of a captive?

Nice! Beautiful eyes on this little fellow, and great pose. Is this from Triple D or Wild Eyes?

Thanks everyone for comments and yes this is my other picture from my lat visit to Triple D farm. I do have thousands of wildlife African an American animals pictures but I agree with Jasper, taking pictures of captive animals give you different opportunity. This picture can be as an example when rest of group was taking pictures from tripod or stand me lad down with camera on snow.

Beautiful shot. Nice expression. I assume it was at the big game farm up there?

I love the claws. You can tell its a feline print because its claws are retracted!
