Two Cheetahs
by Sky

Texas, USA

1/160s f5.6 ISO 80

This photo was taken at a wildlife facility that focuses on saving the cheetah. These cheetahs were quite a distance away and were behind a large wire fence. With use of my tele lens I managed to blur out the fence. A funny fact revolving around this photo is that they were keenly interested in an employee who was cleaning up another area of the compound and after I took a few shots, they did a bit of stalking.

Nice catch here, Sky! I think the post effects you applied work well. Hope the maintenance guy you mentioned is still alive and well ;) ... Martin

What a great treatment! The soft light makes it feel like it is being lit from behind the photo, and the blacked out background helps the light and shadow on the cheetahs stand out. The expression on the cheetahs' faces makes you wonder what they are seeing!
