Cheetah Mark II

[Ken Watkins]

The comments about eyes and ears from Art and others sent me back to my archives here is one from the next frame. It also led me to find out I was crediting the wrong reserve it was taken in Lebala, Kwando Reserve.

Also it was EOS 1D MkII not 10d.

F11, 1/200, ISO 200

Thanks to all I have discovered a slightly better image (I hope)

Nice Cheetah image, I really like how thew bg is the same color as the Cheetah.

[Todd Frost]

Another superb portrait of this cat. Love the light and bg. Exposure and detail look good.

Love the monotone look to this. Really nice. I don't mind the shadowed eyes, but this is a lot better light than the cheetahs I got.

[Steve Canuel]

I like the warm colors and soft details.

[Ken Watkins]

Thanks for the comments, these photos are mainly down to the totally accomodating nature of the three brothers plus a wonderful guide Steve K, and of course a little luck.

[Billy Steenkamp]

Pleasing Image Ken with background complimenting the warm colours of the cheetah.

[Ed Cordes]

Stare and uniform colors are unusual but make a very good presentation. The ears back look like he/she is not very happy. Perhaps a little sharper would be nice?

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Love the proud sight.

Very interesting subject.

Ken,
Your Mark II is definitely better than the Mark I. :D
Cheers,

Really like the rich gold light and the clean background. Great shot.

Thanks to everyone for their kind comments, I love this picture nearly as much as I did the Cheetah in it, sadly he is now dead, but I will always have the memories.
