Late in the afternoon on our first day, and only day of snow, a photographer sent word that he had found a female Puma with a ten month old cub on a kill a short climb off the road.  We were really thankful that we had received word of this as other groups had been there for a week or two and left this day and had never gotten snow.  This is my first view of the female.  Canon EOS 5D IV, Sigma 150-600/5-6.3 @ 388, f/6.3, 1/800, ISO 3200.  Torres del Paine National Park, Chile.

I love the intense stare of the puma, Bob. The snow enhances the habitat, and the detail is revealed well when viewed large. Very nice.

Another beautifully proportioned composition, Bob. You have a great eye for including the right amount of habitat without coming in too close which shows your subject and its environment so well. A fine image of this impressive female, with the fresh snow a real bonus. The uncompressed view is excellent!

Stunning shot- the snow sets her off so beautifully, and her expression is so intense-rather mesmerizing..

I love this photo... The snow adds an element that serves as a wonderful contrast to the puma.
Nice work here!
