Recently I went to a game reserve in South Africa and had an awesome trip photographically. Anyway, when I got back I uploaded the shots to different social media and noticed, especially on 500px that one shot was getting positive opinions. This is it:
However, in my opinion - the shot is pretty average and I almost considered not adding it (I am on a free account and have 10 shots per week). To me the background is too busy and it was taken a good 40m away from a vehicle on the river bank.
These two shots on the other hand were not as well received:
Now this confused me because both are of different cheetah seen on different days. The animal itself is far more rare than the lion. We tracked them (and I shot both of these) on foot - up close. In the first there is great perspective through the grass and the second there is an awesome pose.
My question: Am I the only one who feels that the cheetah shots are far better? And if not, does the fact that the subject is the king of the jungle in the first help it?
