Description Well, its been a while since I last posted something. This is a problem I hope to soon remedy. In the mean time, here is one of my more recent photos from the Nashville Zoo. This particular shot (and many I will post in the next few days) goes out to all the big cat fans on DA. I happened to get really lucky and caught one of the cougars resting in the perfect position with nice lighting (An opportunity that does not come often in this particular cougar exhibit). This particular photo is one of my favorites from that photo session.

That's a beautiful pose!
May I use this photo to edit the color of the cougar in black and green?

I was wondering if you would give permission to use this photo for a drawing reference, she is beautiful and my hubby is a cougar fanatic, and it is exceedingly hard to find an awesome photo of a cougar. Thanks for sharing her with us all.

Wow, what a perfect cougar. That's a great shot, the texture of the fur looks great. And I love the whiskers for some reason. Now I want to go to the Nashville zoo.

Glad you liked it. I guessed from the nice cougar shots in your gallery that you would like this one. By the way, I just saw your shot of the Golden Tabby Bengal. It has been a long time since I have even seen a picture of one of those. What a beautiful cat. Now I have to start looking for somewhere that has one so I can photo it

Your welcome and thank you. Good luck finding a tabby to photo. I need to take some pics at our zoo here to, considering I work there. =^-^=
