That's a mark of a true photographer right there. Get the shot first, then RUN!

You were far too CLOSE to an animal that could have killed, eaten & pooped you out btw

Beautiful pic.

Wow! Awesome pic! I use the same camera (canon 30d) and was just wondering what lenses you are using. I am in the market for a decent macro lens.

Great lighting, subject and composition but poorly executed. The shutter speed was too slow for the amount of zoom resulting in fairly obvious motion blur. If this shot was taken in the wild it would be excusable since any amateur photographer would be shaking in fear and the story would compensate for the blur. However since it was at the zoo you could have quickly adjusted the settings or used some kind of brace. I only bring this up because IMO it's clearly not your best work and judging by your equipment and other photos you can do better. Plus this is the photography forum

Sorry to disappoint everyone but it was taken at the Vancouver Zoo.
So no need to run away. I have taken lots of bear shots when hiking, but cougars are very elusive and are usually starving when seen in the wild.
The shot was taken with my 75-300 DO lens that is why you can't see the fence. I just really like this picture as he was stretching in the sunlight at the time.
