Hi Harshad,
What was it chasing?
Great all four feet off the ground, which is slightly marred bt the length of grass.
I like the fact that this is not "motion blurred".
I find the BG Gnus (?) slightly distracting:p
He was searching something small in grass , Don't know whatOriginally Posted by Ken Watkins
I too :p but have no clues why such elements exists in nature :p
:D
Fine image, lovely detail and action. I don't mind the wildebeest in the background, it doesn't detract that much and nature knows best! :p
lovely captured.....well done

I like the pose, the BG, the extreme speed the image conveys. About the only thing that could make it better is if you were slightly in front of him for a better look at the face. I can't imagine getting this image was easy however. Nice work.
Nicely captured. Well done.
Cheers,

Beautiful overall image, and what an elegant animal!
Enjoyed a lot!

Harshad, as I have stated before, you & Nikon are best suited and the results speak for themselves and this is NO exception. It is difficult to capture a Cheetah 'in flight' at the best of times, but you have captured this extremely well. The outstretched cheetah is beautiful, the image is clean and crisp, with a really well balance colour overall. I like the herd of WB in the distance.
Nicely done.
Post Production: It’s ALL about what you do with the tools and not, which brand of tool you use.
Harshad - a great capture with excellent timing!
TFS,
Rachel
What a scorching shot! The angle is unique! I don't mind the the out-of-focus wildebeest in the far distance, and in fact like it because they form a pattern similar to the cheetah's spots!
I love the OOF gnus in the BG as it gives it a sense of "Mara" as opposed to a staged cheetah run on a wildlife sanctuary :D
beautifully captured, Harshadbhai...if anything it would have been even better if the cat was facing you somewhat more, but we can't have everything, right? :)
Score! A bit of background to deal with,but what a wonderful opportunity for a flying cat.
Like the action and the way it is positioned bove the grass. The background does not bother me at all. I like the fact you can see the animals in the background.
Hi Harshad, this image just jumps out from the row of thumbnails. I really liked the action pose, the stretched out tail that parallels the horizon, all showing speed. Also liked the background, animals in their environment. I agree with others that it would have been nice to have a shot taken more from the cheetahs front, however for me it wouldnt have been any better, just different. DOF was 'spot-on' ;) to get the cat all sharp and still have enough speed to freeze the action. Well done. I have nothing like this!
cheers
