18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Wild Canada Lynx in Northern Ontario, Canada.

Wild Canada Lynx looking back at me before disappearing into the forest. I've had the pleasure of photographing this Lynx for the last three winters. Her territory includes a friends property and if I'm patient, she usually appears for a visit. I stay still and never approach her so she feels comfortable and acts naturally in my presence.
