Wonderful photographs!!
The light is superb. The last one certainly is very cute.
I can't claim the reward, but I suspect you already know the ID of the photo bomber. Regardless, he looks a bit too close to the puma. Who wouldn't have a big smile when having an experience like that? What a picture!
Thanks for sharing these great images. It inspires me to get to Chile.

When all this ends, you should definitely go if you like some hiking, animals on foot, great vistas and possible close encounters with a top level predator.

Exceptional shots Don. Dr. G in the first looks to be in heaven as I'm sure you were also being so up close and personal with these magnificent cats.

Thanks Geoff. You are always welcome when and if the world returns to normal. Maybe next summer.

Love the light and how you composed the images being the cub on the rock my top pick, great job!
Wow, amazing how close you (and the photo bomber) were able to get to these magnificent subjects! What an experience you had. Great set, thanks for sharing, Don.
Don these shots are fantastic, especially with the beautiful light. Are these great cats so used to humans being so close. Especially with the young ones close by

Dave,
The very young ones were just getting somewhat approachable when we arrived. The week before they were quite afraid. The older ones have been around humans enough that they are totally ignoring human presence.
