Great color, composition and lighting, but I would rather have the cheetah in focus, as opposed to the grass. Good to think outside the box, though!

I would go with a sharp cat also but would be kind of difficult!!!!

Do you have the aperture used? This might be on of those that closing way way down might give you something special!!! Like the thinking very much

I like this shot. (If I'm not mistaken you have posted this once before???)

Anyway. Now I think this is a landscape shot with animal enviroment.

Cheers

Peter

Hey George,

I think the backlighting really adds to this, and actually makes the soft cheetah against the sharper grasses work .. if it were frontlit, it may be very different. As is, I agree with Miguel .. 'wonderful'!!

Cheers

I like images like this- something different. Its nicely done with good details in both the grass and the cat.
