great shot, cleverly researched and planned. Normally I hate it when trap shots win major competitions since I consider them largely pure luck, but this one seems to have been specifically planned and designed so Ill let him off.

I like eye of the Jaguar at the bottom of the page.

All the shots are very good, I like the protective cat a lot too.

Its marvellous seeing such amazing photography, particularly inspiring for me at the moment since Ive been watching David Attenboroughs life on iPlayer.

I presume a grab shot is a spur of the moment "walking past, see the wolf, take the photo" shot, rather than a "camp out the fence where signs show the wolf has passed, and wait...and wait..." even though in this instance it was taken with a trail camera I gather, which is simply a camera triggered by IR so hed have left it there and come back the next night and downloaded the images.
