Isn't she a beauty? Took this on a visit at the Cologne Zoo in May. Just got my EF 70-210 f/4 and learned to love it.

"..... the only place in all of Africa where you could find that kind of luscious green grass is Robert Mugabe's front lawn" The fool "BabyBurned" has obviously never been to Africa to make a statement like this and just shows his / her IQ. I like the cats. Nice shot!!

IFL needs to ban BabyBurned's account and IP and any screen name associated with the words Baby and Burn. haha. Great photo btw, i love it. It really captures the beauty of the animal.

I'd like to see those 200 shots from Burned up Baby as well. They must be majestic and masochistic just like the skies he/she imagine. Beautiful cat. Don't matter if in a zoo or not. Great shot.

Really nice. I didn't set it as my wallpaper for now (Cypress Lookout will be in that position for a while...) but it's in my collection cause I know I'll use it some day. Great job! PS. This really is time for an ignore feature. I don't give a monkey's about BabyBurned the troll's opinion.

Really nice shot. And why certain commenters are always putting shots down..I don't know. Insecurity in their own ability, I suppose.

Well, thank you guys so much for your great reviews! It really means a lot to me, since I've been following IFL for almost five years now, but just started shooting in 2008. The contributions on this site - and therefore you too - have always been great inspiration to me and are most certainly one of the reasons I bought an DSLR in the first place! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the Cheetah on the site this afternoon. I literally jumped out of my chair! Especially since this is my first attempt to contribute. Any constructive criticism is most welcome on my flickr-stream, too: www.flickr.com/gentlemanx/show/ (Including two other shots of these cheetahs btw...) @BabyBurned "i bring home 200 such shots everytime i visit a zoo." Well, that's awesome! And according to all your (solely negative) comments on a bunch of images here you seem to be the Jesus of photography. So let's see them!!

I really like it, it looks completely natural to me. Although, I do suspect that at times Mr Mugabe's lawn is indeed green and lush. A few centimeters of water dropped in a short time scale will do that you know, even in South Africa. :)

Looks great on my desktop. That's one majestic cat.

Did you know that the cheetah is the only large cat that purrs? She is a beautiful, stately animal. I don't care whether the photograph was taken in your backyard; it's fine with me.

@BabyBurned Firstly, I do not care whether or not it is taken in a zoo, it doesn't have any effect on the picture of the animal, which by the way, looks the same in a zoo as it does in the wild. Secondly, analyzing the species and chlorophyll levels of the GRASS in a picture is far from the first thing I do. There is such a thing as being overly critical. I think the shot is amazing and really shows off the animal well, Great job!

For clarification: When I say many would bring home themselves, I mean from the pool of talented visitors and contributors here. Not the average chump, like myself. I dunno - it's good, but it just doesn't pop.

Oh dang it, I agree with Burn. Not that this looks like a zoo picture, but that this looks like something someone might come home with a lot of. I would say it's slightly above the level of what many would take home after a trip to the zoo. Granted it's FAR above anything I might take home. The only cameras I own come in cardboard wrappers :-)

@Chamberlin Productions you don't think this looks like a zoo picture? to me it's extremely zooish. don't you watch Animal Planet? the only place in all of Africa where you could find that kind of luscious green grass is Robert Mugabe's front lawn.

doesn't this picture violate IFL's own guidelines? i mean i can hardly image a consent form signed by the cheeta accompanied the submission. has it? in any event, there's nothing particularly wrong with the photo, it's just that i bring home 200 such shots everytime i visit a zoo. catch my drift?
