Photography & Big Cats at the Zoo striking a Pose

Here is another photo from my trip to the zoo last month. Cheetahs have always been a favorite of mine. They are so chill and laid back. This guy seemed to know I was photographing him. He would look directly at the camera almost every time I would bring the camera up. Many of them would only be with one eye. On this one he locked eyes on me like take the picture already and let me rest! I like how you can see the expression in his eyes also, I see intelligence, calm and confidence.

One day I would love to go on a photo safari and get shots of big cats in the wild. Bucket list fun, some day maybe!
