Serengeti Dreamin'
1st Place

Werribee

The shot was taken under extremely hot conditions on Sunday.
The Cheetah and it's mate then moved into a shaded portion of the park.
I guess he/she was just waiting so it was a lucky take.

ISO 200.....Shutter 1/350th/sec...........f/stop 6.3 full exif

Holy gwockamolee, this is a fantastic image. Just perfect. Engaging subject, perfect composition, and enough depth to fall into. Mr. Biscuit is pleased.

I applied a warming filter over the top mainly because there was no detail in the sky.

Very impressive, both the animal and the diagonal tree branch. I wonder where the tint comes from

Very nice - the DOF provides an interesting framing around the tree and cheetah. -Ed Hahn

Very nice! Where did you take this? Zoo? Museum? Back yard? I like the lighting.
