This was taken so long ago. I remember noticing how peaceful it looked with the cheetah laying in the flowers. Probably a moment I could do more justice now, but I think I did a sufficient job capturing it.

The idea behind this one is pretty simple. I wanted to show the thorns complimenting the cheetah's fangs. While the execution could be better I still think its pretty effective.

Definitely one of those picture perfect moments, so I'm glad I was there to capture it, even if my photography skills at the time weren't what they are now.

I was really proud of this one at the time. Its definitely a cool idea for a photo and I'm happy I was able to capture the moment, but definitely shows that its some of my older work. Still though, I think its worth sharing, even though it isn't perfect.

This photo always felt like a senior picture. I have no idea why but that's what I always think of when I look at it.
