Brad Wilson - Cheetah #2

Brad Wilson used a format that I am very familiar with, as an equine photographer.  In a photo that I saw in Photo Eye,  Brad captured a stunning profile of a male Cheetah, with the emphasis on his transparent eye.  The background is solid black which is also very popular when shooting horse portraits. The photo of the Cheetah is definitely portraiture, and in most cases, not consider art. However, the shot does speak to me as an animal lover and photographer of animals.
