This is a better angle on the bobcat I first posted a few days ago. The 7 Italian photographers on the bobcat tour had 35 bobcat encounters in just over 3 days - but this encounter was the best.

The bobcat is very close, maybe 15-17 feet, limiting depth-of-field to a little less than 1 inch.   Shot with a Nikon D3s body, 500mm lens, ISO 1600, 1/800 second at f4, +1/3 eV, Indura tripod, raw converted to jpg in CS6

Superb -- really nice detail, and a fine composition.

My favorite of all your bobcat posts so far! Nicely done.

Man is that nice! That's a serious look from a serious cat.
