is it me, or does Dr Hoo look like Homer when he's tripping on insanity chilies?

Love the Luna shot too.
how close were you to the lynx? i wouldn't take that shot with anything less than a 600mm lens...

I was about.... 12' from the Lynx I'd guess. Although not tame the animals at the Muskoka Wildlife Centre in Ontario are used to people as they're refuge animals that are now used in movies and educational programs.

Thanks for the compliments. Yeah, certainly not hard to tell the difference in quality between my very old Sigma 70-200 and the new Mk II Canon which I had rented. It's also a much easier lens to use, focus was faster and much quieter, all that good stuff.
