Went to the AZ taxidermy show earlier today (6/11) and finally got to see my bobcat and rattlesnake diorama.
It was done by Chris Krueger -- Krueger Creations, and it won a first-place blue ribbon in the Masters Division. The voting for the People's Choice award was going on until 4 p.m., but I imagine he's got a good shot at that, too, since I saw several folks voting for it.
We kind of modeled it off this Bobcat/snake video at the 1:22 mark near the very end.
I took a couple quick pix (below) but didn't use the flash since the mount was sitting close to the wall; it would have caused a great big black shadow. There was already a shadow from the room lights. So without the flash, the pix aren't tack sharp.
Chris will be taking other photos, though, against the nice black backdrop he uses. I'll add them when he does.
