The shadows are ok, but would be better if lightened up a bit. In other words, less contrasty. Is this an American Mountain lion?

Given the spirit of the challenge was to capture a shot of wildlife in its natural environment, I find it most difficult to believe that this was done with your entry. Needless to say my vote on this was very low given those circumstances. When a photo does not do its best in composition to depict actual challenge guidelines, my stadegy for voting immediately stops and it becomes a DNMC to me. Nice capture, but certainly not one I can imagine you sought out for the purposes of a graphic ribbon, in the wild, and in their natural environment.

If this is wild, you are a luck duck...

imo, cloning out the grass that intrudes on her face would help, otherwise nice capture
