Michael, I agree totally with your comment. I was aware of that distraction before I submitted this image into the competition, but I thought the look I captured out weighed that flaw. I also would have preferred a better placement of the Cougar in the frame. I too have high photographic standards and without that look I would have pitched this image, it would just be another shot of a Cougar. Thanks for commenting.
