This shot was actually a mistake. I was trying to get shots with the whole cheetah and the shadow in it. When I saw the half shadow and half cheetah it made me think of their extinction and the fact that once the cheetah walks out of the frame, and out of life, all we are left with are the shadows and memories.

Hey Jason, I keep coming back to this image. I just love it more and more every time I look at it. You can expect that when I get money, I'll buy the print! Super work!
Glad you liked my knot yellow shot. I also gave you a 10 for this shot. Its great. I like everything about it. The colours, the crop, and the meaning. Good work.
Great shot, it deserved a ribbon IMHO. I find myself coming back to it as I like it so much. It has been added to my favorites and is simply awesome. Sometimes breaking the "rules" makes for a really super shot. Way to go, keep it up!
Fascinating image. I love the implied pattern that keeps my eye moving around the photo. I don't mind the bamboo being out of focus, but I wish the cheetah were a bit sharper. Very well composed!
I love this (and it's not just because I'm desperate to go back on safari). It puts into mind the safari pictures of old - and also reminds me of a magazine advert in style. I like the way we only see the back of the cheetah but see the shape of the rest of him in his silhouette.
Lighting is just a touch harsh on his legs and the bowl behind his back feet distracts from the legs/ feet.
Overall a great shot (and well cropped).

Very good - a picture with a message as well as being a great image. Excellent work. Only small flaw is the shadow on the leopards hind foot. Regardless this is a 10 for me simply because I love photos with a message or a story or a purpose. floyd.
the shadow totally helps out with the fact that most of the cat is out of the shot... and that makes it a good idea... good use of the desaturation technique... but the cat itself needs sharper focus
One of my top fav fotos for this week. The panaramic format and unusual composition combining derriere and shadow work very in this dynamic image. Although the feeding bowl is a very minor drawback it is a fact of the situation. The fuzzy bamboo backdrop is a complimentary texture. The stance of the animal shadow demonstrates sleek muscular power. I admire how you balanced the touch of color with the interplay of B&W. Gorgeous!
this is a provocative shot! I really like the use of the shadow to pull my eye direction to the exiting yellow. Also, I like how the spots mirror the pattern on the fence. Wonderful work! I would call this art!
I really like this photo. Good job. I like the way that the shadow and the actual object are displayed in the image. The shadow is also nice and clear. Good job.
