Young Cheetah in afternoon light

Panasonic GX8, Leica vario-Elmar 100-400

Moremi, Botswana

Wonderful capture of the cheetah. The backlighting on the head and neck set off the photo and provide a great focal point. Don’t know if you cropped this on not, but it might stand out more powerfully if there was a bit more canvas on the top.

It is uncropped. Thank you for your kind words.

Love the beautifully back-lit frame, but IMHO picture has not been able to take full advantage of the stunning light, primarily because of more DOF. Although I understand that you were shooting with a long zoom but you haven’t mentioned the techs to understand it fully.

Would prefer more canvas on top and left as well.
