Doug and I had an offlist conversation after the "Fraudulent photos"
thread back in October about lynxes, because I have a landscape from
Russia with a tiny blur in it that on close inspection with a lupe is
definitely a lynx.  I made statements to Doug to the effect that I
couldn't imagine how to get a good shot of a wild lynx except to spend
months, maybe years out there looking for them.  That might be on
average, but as it turns out, you can get an amazing photo of a wild
lynx by taking one stroll in Yosemite in broad daylight.  Sometimes
luck just works in your favour.

Great work Adam, perfect capitalisation on an incredible opportunity.
