Well, what to say, this is a shot of a lifetime. I know lots of wildlife photographers, and some of the best there are, and they will tell you that just seeing a wild lynx is rare, but a shot of a wild lynx, in this form, is once in a life time!

In any event, the shot does suffer a bit due to high iso, and slow shutter speed, but oh well, i'll take it anyway. . .

Cheers!

Tony,

I also posted a reply in the Nat Park forum to your posting of this image but I wanted to say again what a great catch it is and ask that you give us a little info on the circumstances of this great opportunity.

Thanks,

George

Wow! That's really cool. Whatever issues affect the image, you got the animal's eyes and that is crucial.

looks pretty darn good to me Tony, excellent as usual.

Tony,

After I saw your great Lynx shot this morning, I went for a snowy walk in the forest near my cabin at Donner Pass. I guess your shot was stuck in my mind because I started seeing lynx everywhere, LOL.



My goldie Calla (Spanish pronunciation - Caya) in her best lynx impersonation.

George - that is funny!

Tony - WOW - what an exciting shot. I can imagine the dedication and hours it to be out there to be in the right place to take shots like that... really nice -

Hey Tony,

You should be pretty proud of that one. The lynx is one of the creatures I would most want to photograph. Absolutely beautiful, and the snow only adds to it.

Great shot, Tony! No need to apologize for anything -- it's a very exciting shot and the high ISO only adds to the texture.

Congrats.

Jim

Great shot, Have never even seen one of these in the wild, let along get a shot of one. The only wild cat I have photographed is a Bobcat and it is not nearly as good as this,,DAve
