This Cougar was setting atop a rocky cliff right against the chain link fence. I had to do a quick paint (does not mean I did it quick, it was very tedious work) mask and do a gaussian Blur. Otherwise it looked like crap. The spot above the tongue is where his to fangs met and you see a small opening through the mouth.

Nice shot and composition. This shot appears to have had it's DOF and background adjusted in photoshop, which is fine, except that it perhaps was not done carefully enough. The animals back ear looks like a gradient or fill is over it, and parts of the background don't look natural. My apologies in advance if this is just my misperceptiion.
Beautiful> Love the tongue between the teeth. My only suggestion (and it's a very minor, picky one) would be to take in a bit more negative space - so the nose has a bit of breathing room... but overall I love the image and subject - 8
