Wounded Cheetah

Uploaded: July 11, 2005

Description

I found this Cheetah in Londolozi in South Africa, and imediately noticed the leg wound, very dangerous for a Cheetah who depends on speed.

Wow, amazing photo! I love how the subject is placed off to the side. I'm trying to learn to do that with my photos, I had a terrible habit of placing everything dead center. My kids are very impressed with your gallery, they said you must be very brave to take photos of lions and cheetahs like that! My daughter, Jo, especially loved viewing your photos because she loves big cats. Although tigers are her top favorites, cheetahs are a close second. #1579495

Wow, Luis! Really nice shot! Tells a great story. (I would LOVE to go to Africa some day... I'm so jealous!) :) #1579618
