For sure it is a stunner of a photo. However there are reports from people who have worked at some private game farms that cater to photographic shoots that they don't treat their animals very well. In fact, there is a case against one of these private places working its way through the courts now. I have never visited a game farm so can't say (also one wouldn't necessarily see what is behind the scenes at these farms anyway). I personally prefer when people say wether a photo is taken at a game farm versus in the wild. If not, it can give people unrealistic expectations of what a safari for a particular animal can yield (my post was also in response to a UHHer thinking about going on a safari to see snow leopards in the wild). I also personally prefer when people tell you more about how a picture is taken (lens/camera, etc). So yes it is a great shot, but I would like to more about how it was taken.
PS. The EXIF data indicates that it was photographed at 300mm with an aperture f/2.8. So this shows why photographers prefer the exotic primes with fast apertures to get that dreamy bokeh. Useful info for other photographers.

It is a beautiful animal and photo! Leaves could be Montana autumn foliage, and the trail could also be a game park trail. Animal looks well-cared for and not at all "on edge" because of people with cameras lurking about.

Yeah…me too. But can we pretty please have a 10 page debate about whether it's a wildlife photo or not??

Is that 10 page limit for double spaced or single spaced?
