    Dear All

    This Cheetah hunted hare in-front of us and coping with speed of Cheetah was one task , got few frames sharp but definitely lighting was not supportive. This is what I could do the best

    D3, 200-400/F4 at F4 , ISO 800 , 1/4000

    All C & C are most welcome

    Great shot considering the light you had Harshad. Cheetah is well exposed, sharp and love the catch TFS

    The light might not be great but I love the way it has lit up the grasses in the BG and the way they are moving with the wind. Cat seems well exposed. I would add a tad more space on the right or cut a tad from the left to make it a little less centered.

    A bad hare day was a good day for you, Harshad. The lighting might not have been ideal, but it worked very well.

    Hi Harshad , superb action and love the light on the grass in the BG. Agree with less room on the left as well as a slight crop from the bottom to retain the perspective.

    You've done well here Harshad. Like Marina I love the way the light reflects off the grass seeds in the background.

    Great action. You did very well considering the harsh light and that she seems to be running away from you. I too like the bg.

    TFS,

    I LOVE back lighting more than anyone. One of my photo motto's is - when you find a back lit picture, take it.
    But somehow for me such lighting is incongruous with action photos. Probably just me, I can't explain it any better.

    great job in keeping with the action here Bhai, in challenging light!

    I like the lighting, and I think there might be some interesting alternatives here...here's a suggestion with a significant darkening of the midtones (very quick job) for a more moody presentation...tell me what you think

    Harshadbhai, well done on tracking the speed of the cheetah, and good to get him in the open plains. His catch a bonus. With the leg position, he looks like he's running pretty fast at time of capture.
