Mountain Lion

Terrific capture Len. Is this in the wild?

The lion's stance is certainly different from the classical "lion king of the mountain" pose we usually see...in this case the lion seems a bit hesitant, almost afraid. in which conditions was this taken?

Younes, The answer can be found in my 'Details'. Didn't mean to deceive you. This is a stuffed animal 'captured' at Cabela's sporting goods store in Dundee, MI. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of animals on display there. I have a whole folder taken while on 'Safari' there over the past few years. Check it out! Cabela's has the most fantastic displays. Tip of the hat to whoever is responsible for them. Best, LM.

Very well composed, nice lines ! And well exposed, hats off for 1/10 handheld ;-) The water in motion is a nice extra.

Carsten, Thanks for your thoughts. Handheld! Well, solidly braced on a wooden railing. Didn't think store security would smile on my rather large Manfrotto. :-) Best, LM.

Documentary or Nature category? Let me know what you think. I chose

Documentary because this is a shot of a stuffed Mountain Lion on

display at Cabela's Sporting Goods store in Dundee MI. There are so

many wildlife displays there that I have a whole folder dedicated to

this location. Your thoughts\critique will be gratefully received.

Best, LM.

classic Len (as always)

Thanks for dropping by with your views. Always appreciated. This place is a photographer's paradise. Beautiful settings & extraordinary displays. Also good if you want to purchase hunting or fishing gear. :-) Best, LM.
