The cougar (Puma concolor),

also known as the puma or mountain lion, is a large, solitary cat found in the Americas. It has a vast range, from Yukon in Canada to the southern Andes of South America. Its primary food is deer but it hunts a range of prey, from insects, mice and rabbits to domestic cats and dogs, alpaca, livestock, and even bighorn sheep and elk. In the Rocky Mountains it sometimes preys on mature cattle and horses. It is a secretive cat that usually avoids people; it will attack humans, though rarely.
(Wikipedia)

I like this animal very much.I was waiting quite long for I was expecting when will she look in my eyes.
But she ignorated me and was acting like I was impossible though I was standing less than one meter from her.(I took this photo in ZOO).

Thats a lovely portrait of what I think is a puma. The waiting was worthwhile.
Everything is right about this photo so well done.

A warm welcome to TN, Viera.
A great shot of this puma.
Details are sharp and well exposed.
Excellent POV and eye contact. Very intense.
I wish there were a bit more space on the top, so the ears would not be cut off.
But all in all a wonderful first post.
Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

Un bello retrato de este maravilloso puma, tan difundido en mi país todavía afortunadamente.
El gran foco obtenido brinda bellos detalles del felino con intensos colores, gracias a la correcta iluminación y la agudeza captada.
Me gusta el punto de vista y el encuadre, aunque el margen superior del marco sobre la oreja del animal desmerece la calidad de la composición.
Bienvenida a TN Viera... una excelente primera entrega, sin dudas.
Un cordial saludo desde Buenos Aires y mis mejores deseos para el 2007... Ricardo

Beautiful portrait of this wonderful puma, so diffused still fortunately in my country.
The great focus obtained offers beautiful details of the feline with intense colors, due to the correct illumination and the captured sharpness.
I like the point of view and the framing, although the superior margin of the frame on the ear of the animal deteriorate the quality of the composition.
Welcome to TN Viera... an excellent first post, without doubts.
A cordial greeting from Buenos Aires and my best wishes for 2007... Ricardo

a great shot and with good technique..you dont state the camera etc..it always interests me to know this..
the eye sharpness is perfect and the coat detail in the head area/ears also..
depth of field is a bit restricted but neednt be great anyway since the main elements..the eyes are sharp
any more information on that?
