How very regal. What lens and what settings. the focus and detail are very clear. The placement makes sure you keep your eye on the big cat. I thank you for posting

Very nice natural shot, it really dosent get any more pure then what we see here.

Very nice confident looks on our friend, posed perfectly with a look to one side, as if you posed him yourself. Good natural framing as well, normally I would be distracted by any vegetation in front of our subject but in this post you made it work. Covering the hind quarters, it is so out of focus you hardly care about it, well done.

You so clearly have talent that I can not help but urge you to move on in this field. Get better camera, get Photoshop, get Lightroom. With such an artistic eye, you might as well enjoy the satisfaction of presenting your images in the best possible way. You have a wonderful composition here but your focus is soft particularly on the Cheetah's face. Did you spot focus on his eyes?
I say all this because I really think you could be an outstanding photographer and I would love to see you develop.
If you are satisfied then really that is all that matters.
Being #1 on this site is, as you know a matter of quantity not quality.
Your light needs adjusting..
I know i swore I would not make suggestions but this is an image that could have been really outstanding with just a little editorial work and the right equipment.
I mean this is the best possible way.

great nature picture good exsposure maybe zoom in tad more to get a more definate look on his face and perhaps cropped slightly more on the bottom of the pictureLove his stance lucky to catch his position before he flys off

What a great find and catch on this beautiful cat. Like the glowing eyes, profile shot, framed and so well focused. Ready for lunch at any second. Good one.

When everything comes together it creates magic moments. What a beautiful animal and you caught its majesty and graceful body perfectly. I dream of moments when this happens since with animals you have microseconds when anything could happen. Great balance and Great color with the camouflage in nature being so perfect.

Beautiful animal and good photo. Is there some reason you did not crop more to give us an even closer view? Don

I think the pose is great. I am sure the animal has seen something of interest the way it is glaring into the distance. Fortunately it was not the photographer. It is so nice to see animals in their own environment.

Your focus is however a bit soft this time, and especially the face has lost a bit of definition. It is however nothing wrong with the exposure or the colors.

I cannot make up my mind whether this is a good composition or not. The space on the right side of the cheetah seems a bit empty, but on the other hand the bushes keep the balance in the photo. Still I feel that if your POV had been a bit different, the animal could have been sitting more to the right. I think this is still a well taken photo, but the lack of sharpness is the reason for half off.
