Great shot, and a nice capture of the smug pose this giving you. Beautiful focus and lighting to capture the distinct markings and color of the cat.

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel
Of course . He shows his royal of the area - king of the plane's , strong and proud - you got the perfect timing for a great capture - our frame is absolutely perfect letting the trees on the right side and him stand left to show us the environment he is living in - perfect angel and position - I am wondering where you have been - inside a truck? Or outside with him? Tele shot? It is a perfect picture with beautiful camera settings - and super beautiful colors - golden light shining all over , even the blue sky seems to be touched - well done

Stunning shot of this cheetah standing in the late afternoon sun. Excellent framing with the tall tree in the background. Great focus and dof. Excellent composition on the thirds. Amazing shot!

Comment from Susan F. M. T.
Fred,
A great picure of this Cheetah standing on a height to get a better look out for prey running past in the distance. Though her colouring should blend in with her background with your sharp focus & lighting she stainds out clearly.

Great shot, great pose. Excellent focus showing fine detail in the fur and that great expression that says " take a photo if you must " Presentation and composition are first class. Great African colours seta against the blue sky. Well done Bill

Comment from DavidP
And it doesn't have a smile or isn't looking at the camera1 Just the way you like. A nice candid shot of this handsome cheetah standing tall and proud. Isn't looking your way so I guess you aren't on the menu. haha Great shot of Africa Fred and you have him placed perfectly in the frame. Great to see your non zoo African animal shots where they are wild and free. My only view of them pacing back and forth in a zoo enclosure. Good shot!
David
