Great clarity and light. Good zoom lens to get that much of a close up?

Given the spirit of the challenge was to capture a shot of wildlife in its natural environment, I find it most difficult to believe that this was done with your entry. Needless to say my vote on this was very low given those circumstances. When a photo does not do its best in composition to depict actual challenge guidelines, my stadegy for voting immediately stops and it becomes a DNMC to me. Wild cats and other huge and known to attack man type animals I find hard to believe were hunted down in the wild for a graphic ribbon.
