Description

Original image is a scanned slide. After much manipulation, twists and turns this is what I came up with. Original image was taken at Ghost Ranch New Mexico.

Karen, I like the way in which you create a mood for all of your images. I particularly like this one a lot. It has sort of a hunted feel to it.

Nadya Johnson March 11, 2006

Great work, Karen! This is so wild and eerie: makes your hair stand up. I thought from the thumbnail this was a coyote, then of course, saw it was a Big Cat. What a great title, by the way! You captured the feel of the desert night. I used to have coyotes drinking from my birdbath down in Baja, where they're very fat and rather tame due to misguided souls who feed them pork chops and the like! Never a good idea... I was privledged to see mountains lions there a couple times, as well. Not "tame" at all! But magnificent to see in their wild state. This reminds me of those sightings. A great photo and I love the monotone.It really works! #2520659

Karen Slagle March 11, 2006
