Beautiful image, Armin. Even though it isn’t perfectly in focus, I think there’s still plenty of detail in the cheetah, and the sense of motion adds a lot to the photograph. I also really like how the cheetah blends with the similarly colored background, yet still has enough contrast to stand out as the main subject. I don’t have any major suggestions for improvement—perhaps you could try slightly desaturating the rocks in the foreground to make them a bit less noticeable, but honestly, they work fine as they are.
Hi Armin, I really like the sense of motion in this image, and your choice of shutter speed adds a creative touch. I think a bit more space at the top and in front of the subject might give the composition a more balanced feel.
