A beautiful shot of this bedraggled looking lynx. The eye contact is great and the composition is excellent. The cat is sharp as could be and the colors are fantastic.

This is a very nice portrait of your favorite Lynx! He's looking right at you. Maybe you're his favorite photographer! Perfect focus on the eyes. Lovely colors.

Comment from Shadow catcher
Very cool shot of this lynx,I like how he is looking right at you for his photo with those great yellow eyes,almost looks like he is looking into your soul.The rain has really added some texture to his fur,and I love the curl of the tufts of fur on those alert ears;great catch light in those eyes. Super sharp focus,a real pleasure to view!

Thank you! I think he is so adorable :)

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan
This is a wonderful shot of the wild life!. He does't seem to look too happy with the wet state he is in!:: You have timed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

Thank you! He is one of my favorite animals at the MN Zoo. He always makes eye contact with me and sometimes plays little peeking games with me from behind the rocks.

Wow. What a great shot Grace. That look is just super and those eyes are so captivating. This one belongs in a magazine. Great work. Cyber Six on this one Grace ~ Steve

Looks like a bit of a mean cat presented here! Your central composition offers us a good look at your lynx. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely taken!
