What an image. I absolutely love the tone of this picture which is calm and relaxing, contrasting with the cheetah which is probably on the hunt. The composition is great, with in my opinion the perfect amount of sky. The image is perfectly saturated and the mix of warm and cold colours is very interesting. I like the aperture you used that drags our eye directly to the cheetah and brings depth to the image. The cheetah is sharp and is a very charismatic subject. Great job in my opinion !
What a stare ! I love this image as the light is particularly interesting. It looks like a spot light, torch or car light although we can clearly see this secondary light coming from above. I guess this one is kind of the last light of the day or moonlight. In any case, It brings both warmth and cold to the image and make it unique. The leopard is gorgeous and perfectly in focus. The image is also sharp and the composition is good. In my opinion the rather thick bush in the front does drag our eyes sometimes but I'm sure you did as best as you can knowing the shooting conditions and still managed to get a great composition. Finally I really like how we fall into the leopard's eyes, this is for me the best part of the picture. Overall I love this very original picture !
A great shot that really emphasises the size of this African elephant. The image is just great, sharp and well textured. I like the use of black and white which always works pretty well with elephants. Some might say that the composition is a bit odd but I really think that it is what makes this image original and cool. I might be wrong but I guess you added some clarity on Lightroom. Clarity with black and white always works great. However it does create this white outline around the elephant which could have been delt with in my opinion. But appart from this this is a great shot. It is worth congratulating the photographer for the patience, knowing how much time this kind of picture takes to be taken. Wildlife photography might be one of the domains requiring the most patience, which makes every good shot even better.

Perfect timing ! Absolutely gorgeous image. The composition is just on point while the nicely saturated colours make the picture very vivid. I love how the sun reflects on the dust and how that dust shows the movement of the elephant and just makes it look like it was actually heading the sun. The subject is sharp and the image pretty unique with a well used wide angle. Overall an amazing shot !
