Love this photo even though it does sort of creep me out. Way too human.

Way to human.

That is what my wife said too. After it won a few things she began to like it more.

A fine shot, and a great job with the B&W conversion.

Satisfy my curiosity - was this a captive bobcat?

Great shot even if it is a captive animal. You should submit this to the exclusive gallery.

It's a beautiful and captivating portrait, but he seems so sad! This shot captures the depression that most zoo animals undoubtedly experience.

That is definitely a portrait. The bobcat's expression looks so human. Great shot and processing
