amazing crop and wonderful detail! perfect work

Thank you all for looking, to me there is really nothing more hypnotic than the eyes of a wild cat, regardless of size. There is a wildness and a hidden intensity that is so palpable, it is different than that of a bear or a wolf or any other family of Carnivora.

Those eyes…WoW! Lovely!

beautiful an image of perfected art.

Perfect! amazing detail and perfectly composed.

Mundy thank you for comenting on my sales….I share excitement…and looking at your success makes me happy….I love looking at your photos and its a joy…This one is another joy and smiles looking at it…you bring out of the animals that many take for granted…These friends of us who loves wildlife means so much to us…keep u ….great job!!

Wonderful shot, Mundy!

We have a very healthy cougar population on the ranch. They compete with the coyotes and bobcats for deer, rabbits and wild turkeys. Occasionally, they will take a calf from my cousin’s beef cattle. Fortunately, the cougars don’t come too close to headquarters!

Wonderful photo and message

He is sooooooo beautiful, I wish I could be born again as a big cat.

Oh Mundy – you must stop this, there are only so many reaction goosebumps a person can take you know LOL. Your work just never ceases to amaze me, never. Breathtaking

Beautifully said, Mundy!

Sorry, there’s more!
I love the way the cougar’s expression seems to be one of appeal and sadness which just fits so beautifully what you have said about their plight.
Ok, that’s probably me being my usual extremely anthropomorphic self! But there you go!

Excellent eye contact

Gorgeous as always Mundy. The eyes are amazing

The sharpness of detail is stunning. Great work!

Lovely shot

Beautiful again my friend!

Couldn’t agree more. =)
I love the cougar’s sad expression. It’s beautiful. { Greatly portrayed! }
They may be killers – but they do what they have to do in order to survive.

I ADORE it, this picture says it all… Siamese cat and kittens…

Wow1 This is beautifull

wow beautiful!!!!!!!!!!

I couldn’t ask for a more beautiful portrait of an animal I admire and care for. Your comments about their wildly inaccurate depiction in folklore is so right on. When I lived in Montana, on Swan Lake, we were once visited by a pair (yes a pair) of cougars who got their drink of water from the lake and moved back into the trees where they disappeared. All of our neighbors were terrified and insisted that baby horses (we had just had a colt born) were cougars’ favorite food, which is hogwash. In Oregon an annual event is to try to reinstate the law allowing hunting cougars with dogs, because they’re “killing all the wildlife and a danger to people.” Your other art piece, “Extinction is Forever” fits well here.
....Sorry, guess I got on my soapbox here. But I love these animals and fear they’ll be gone in fifty years.

This is so beautiful.

the processing on this one is fantastic mundy!

Mundy this is gorgeous!

Piercing eyes! I love it!!

Stunning capture!

Great eye contact, love the black BG for him

wow, this is amazing

Such beautiful creatures. I use to love lying in bed listening to them out in the desert at night. Now thanks to greed and cookie cutter homes, people have moved in and destroyed the desert, which is the animals home. Makes me mad and sad at once. Beautiful images.

Thanks so much Cinthia, sad and true….

there are communications with them through your lens…

Wow, you can feel the emotions of the cougar…. and I wholeheartedly agree with you, even though I’ve never seen a real Cougar and I live in the UK. One of the most beautiful animal photographs I’ve ever seen.

Absolutely gorgeous. A fantastic portrait of such an amazing creature. I would love to see a couger in their natural habitat one day. So sad that they have such a bad reputation. I’ve read that they are a sign of a healthy ecosystem. If the ecosystem can support cougers then everything else is healthy.

I like the way you’ve captured so much emotion with this expression, the composition adds impact too. Excellent shot.

what an amazing shot the eyes just suck you in.

Beautiful, yet so sad, The panthers are really struggling here in Florida. They too are losing their habitat. Nice photo of this beautiful animal.

great image, we have a basement that is devoted to cougars. partly due to where we went to school, but just as much because they are such majestic creatures.

well done

great eye contact , lighting , clarity, beautiful cat

Again a beauty the eyes are stunning really awesome work Mundy ! ................. (-:

so much life in his eyes, great capture Mundy

This is a beautiful photo of a gorgeous cat. (FAV)

Amazing shot…Wow!

This says it all!

incredible.

was he hitching rides or did he have a segway ?

This expression is something else, theres reproach and question in those eyes. I agree and wish we could just keep our SUV’s, ATV’s, hang gliders, and generally noisy messy selves out of park areas and let the four leggeds live there in total isolation and peace. Your portrait is a great vehicle for promoting the respect of mother earth and all her creatures.
