Cheetah
Captive
EOS300D, Sigma 100-300 F4 + 1.4TC , ISO 400, F8, natural light.

This is my personal favourite of my Cheetah shots to date, simply because this, for me, is what a Cheetah is. One of the most awesome cats with such style, grace, speed, power and infinite beauty.

All comments and critiques always welcome and appreciated and thanks for looking.

Carol,

This looks like a painting. Definitely a wall hangar. Typical chettah pose with beautiful lighting.

Even in captivity these cats have a regal look. This image is gorgeous, Carol. I love everything about it. :shock: 8)

I love the spotlighting on the cat and the regal pose. I love Cheetahs and this is a superb image.
