Stong Gaze of a Lynx

Wow, what an incredible shot!
How did you manage to get that close to a Lynx in the wild? I mean, they are
perhaps one of the most illusive creatures on the planet. Or as we like to say,
they are like the shadows of the mountains which you see moving in the dark ...

So again, well done!

To the picture itself, it looks great! It would do nicely as a postcard or even a bigger
print in a nature magazine/book. For my taste I have to say you did a great job in
reworking it, but maybe just this wee bit too much ... The eyes for example, yes,
you are right, they make the picture complete and form a nice focus point.
But as intensely glowing as they do in your shoot one would only find them in
high quality graphics and drawings rather then in nature. The same holds true
for the fur and the background works. It looks fantastic as it is, but nature just
is not quite like that, especially if you take shoots out in the wild. It often is difficult
enough to even get a snapshot of a creature like this in the great outdoors, so, if you
do, you don't need to rework quite as much to make it "the perfect shoot".

Keep up the great work!
All the Best!
