Colchester Cheetah

From a trip out to Colchester zoo last week. Shame about the couple of sticks of bamboo crossing his/her face, but I quite liked the lighting of his little sun trap.

Thank you.

I run out of reach at 200mm, so rarely able to fill the frame in ways I might otherwise want to. That and I often have kids in tow so don't have time to wait around for beasts to move around or get any closer.
So instead I tried to to show the cat in context with it's environment, trying to avoid any man-made elements to make it appear as natural as possible.

Most of the time it ends up being an unrecognisable blob in a bush, but this time I think it worked out.
