Perhaps the best setting I've seen in any Paine puma shot. Great job, Steven.

Simply one of the best puma images I have ever seen!
That backdrop is just to die for, as is the low POV and the overall composition...

I love the perspective, putting the cat in the power position and wonderful background to set the scene for the habitat. Superb image of a beautiful subject Steve!

A gorgeous shot and setting. I have to ask.....is this a wild cat taken with a 200mm? If so that's amazing. Far closer than I would want to be to one for sure. :)

John - yes, the cat was 100% wild, not baited or fed.   For some reason the pumas down there in the park are not as secretive as in the states.  Steve

Hello Steven

Been absent for awhile and was very pleased to see this amazing capture !

WOW, to be so close to this big guy!

Never been to Chile but looks very interesting? Maybe put on my bucket list!!

Cheers

Bill
