When asked to burn a cougar I wasn't sure how well I would be able to capture the features of an animal i have seen only in the distance. With the support of many photographs and research I believe i have captured the look I was going for.

I call this piece Cougar Two. While the piercing eyes of the main cat stare directly into you the one in the background stares at him.

Cougars are beautiful but wild animals and should be treated as such even for those who wish to get close enough to photograph.
