Bobcat (c)

I'm working with our local zoo on a project that will hopefully be lucrative for both of us. I showed the new zoo director my fractalius lioness, and he was impressed. He gave me permission to get up and close to the cages, as long as I don't get bit :). Generally, this hasn't been a problem, though with the bobcats this weekend, one would be content to lay in the back of the cage, while the other jumped on the cage and took gentle swipes at the photographer :). I've been playing with new methods of applying the fract filter, to give a softer look than that of the lioness. This is almost full frame, and I wish I hadn't been zoomed quite as close when the bobcat yawned. C&C always welcome and appreciated.

Nice use of the Fract. Great capture of cat behavior. I like how the light plays on the whiskers. :toast:
