This is one of the african cheetahs(Acinonyx Jubatus) from the Krefelder Zoo. Also the same cat you saw here:


The moment I captured isn't a snarling cheetah but the very end of an impressive huge yawn.

I apologize for what might be my shortest critique.

I always begin with vision so let's have at it.
I give you a 5. You seem to have wanted either an annoyed cheetah or one simply showing off her gorgeous profile, and you got it. You successfully captured that annoyed/vane cheetah.

I give you a 4.5 on originality.
I give you a high score because I have not quite seen such a clear depiction of a cheetah snarling. On the other hand I have seen annoyed cheetahs many, many times.

I give you 5 on technique (don't get tired of the high scores, they keep coming).
You're a fabulous photographer. You have a good eye. You got this beauty here looking like a champion on her rock there. It's difficult to get close enough to cheetahs, especially when they're already snarling, to capture this delightful pose.

Impact I give another bloody 5.
I compliment you on the filter choice, period. I have already expressed amazement in the position you got her and by showing a bit of her teeth it's all the more breathtaking.

Beautiful work (adds to favorites).
What do you think?

The cheetah looks like it's in a bad mood.

Wonderful shot, Johannes, I love the editing you've done on this shot, it really adds something that I think it wouldn't have with it's original colouring. Also great timing on catching the end of the yawn, if you hadn't said it was a yawn I would have been certain he was snarling.

Thank you very much Jo. I'm glad you like my experimental editing and I can fully agree with you, it looks like an ordinary snapshot with the original colors. It always looks like a grimly snarl when they're at the end of a yawn and I'm glad to have captured it ^^ I don't know what people are doing to get photos of those bigger cats snarling, they usually don't snarl at me.
