Caracal (The Persian Lynx)

Nikon D200 & 18-200 VR @ 200mm 1/60 Sec @ F5.7

My original image blended with my own texture in multiple layers using high pass, colour burn & multiply in PS Elements. Please view large

The word caracal comes from the Turkish word “karakulak”, meaning “black ear”. Although it has traditionally had the alternative names Persian Lynx, Egyptian Lynx and African Lynx, it is no longer considered to be an actual lynx. Instead, it is now believed to be closely related to the African golden cat and the Serval.

Thanks to everyone who visits & comments on my work

Due to time constraints I’ve decided that I’ll not spend time just saying individual thanks when someone comments on my work. Far better I feel to spend time looking at their portfolio & enjoying & commenting on their work, by way of thanks for visting & commenting on my work

About buttonpresser

As a child my plane crashed in the Himalayas & I was raised by an advanced civilisation that taught me photography, ESP & precognition, no, wait that was the Champions wasn’t it?

Ah well, 50 & getting more muddled by the day.

Hope you enjoy my work, and feel free to buy anything you like enough. :-)
