    Honorable Mention in Nature / Wildlife

A face rarely lies. The ferocity of a merciless predator burns beneath the steady gaze of this cougar. Its fierce pose reminds of a king having his portrait painted or a model with a perfect body facing the camera head-on. ?Its tan-coloured coat blends in with the surrounding environment of the chilean pampas made of rock, grass and stones.
