Kenton Rowe's fortune as a wildlife photographer would change in less than one second; the amount of time it takes for a shutter to open and close, the light burning a digital image onto a disk.
And in that second, the mountain lion and her cub were forever captured, their likenesses then downloaded to a computer, printed to paper and presented to a panel of judges who would sift through 70,000 photographs at this year's National Wildlife Federation photo contest.

Great shot! If thats second, I’ll do a search for first place. It must be really incredible.
Thanks.
thank you too much!
A shame he was only armed with a camera. A rifle would have done better.
What a beauty.
Our friends were at the blessing of the pets and picnic at their church and being armed with a camera (good camera) guess who shows up right in the middle of the ceremony?
Coyote and so close as to take a drink out of the fountain nose around and then go back off into the woods.
How cool is that. Great pic too.
Thanks, will take a walk over there.
Wonder if the above low res picture could be used by the Welcome Wagon? (if it’s still rolling)
Here's the winning photos:

Great pics. The indigo bunting is really beautiful!
Thanks for the link. Some really great photos.
Nature at its best.
Had to laugh at the “No Squirrels allowed” shot.
Where I live there are bobcats and an occational Florida panther and I once saw a Lynx.
They are a great way to lesson the rabbit, wolf and cayote population and are quite beautiful to watch walking around my airpark.
Why kill them?
Seems a little extreme there pal.
Here ya go (had to find the one with the picture of the lad and his kitty).
Easy to tell the tourists when someone drives through town with a cat tied to their truck or car roof — BIG EYES!

The 14-year-old from Anaconda was hoping to bag his first elk on opening day Sunday. Instead, he found himself face-to-face with a large mountain lion.

Why would you want to shoot it? Is it threatening civilians? Is is any good to eat? Or is is because it’s alive and furry, therefore you have to kill it? Before you flame me, I eat deer and any other wild thing that is put on my plate. If you are hunting for a trophy, you are a pig.
Man, cats just exude “cool”.
I like the way you think. There are evidently still a few folks around that made this “a Nation of riflemen”.
Eventually they will. We got rid of mountain lions and bears for reason in the 1800’s.
