This critter was in my yard last night, I thought it was kind of neat.

That is just beyond remarkable. I live in Texas and have spent my whole life hiking, camping, and backpacking and have seen only one ---- and that was a fleeting glimpse.

Wow. Talk about being in the right place at the right time.

I spend a lot of time outdoors, including Moab, and have never seen a bobcat. This is such an amazing thing that it came to you, and you were ready. Way to go. A little more contrast would help.

I'm lucky since my wife had just returned from a wedding and had the video camera on the counter, I also have approximately 5 minutes of him on video. I also took upwards of 50 pics of the cat.

Nice pic, just lock up your small pets, he's looking for dinner.
As another suggested, a bit of contrast will help.


The devil is in the details...Especially at 100% crop!
