Canada Lynx on Alertby scalvertComment by Jedusi: In itself a superb shot !
In terms of the challenge - does a zoo shot really fit the challenge description ?
But then the winner was also in a 'Wildlife Refuge' so I guess it is all of a muchness.
Still a great shot |

I explained it on my last entry. The enclosure dates back to the early 1900's (the zoo started with PT Barnum's circus animals), and is constructed with heavy iron bars on the front and back that are difficult to blur away. There's another fence 8 or 10 feet in front of the bars, while a roof and the surrounding trees limit the available light. The only area that allows good lighting away from the bars and any artificial structures is confined to just a few square feet, although the catchlights a couple of people mentioned were a natural opening in the trees behind me. |

Canada Lynx on Alertby scalvertComment by Simms: "The zoo asked me to take some photos of their new vampire bats for press releases, but when I arrived the bats weren't in yet. However this lynx was unusually active, and positioned just right in an environment that's downright hostile to photography."
So this wasnt in the wild? Its an amazing capture but you havent really said what this "hostile environment" was.
Great finish. |
