ENTRY DESCRIPTION
A stare that can put a shiver chill down the spine.

I spent at least four hours trying to get one of the cheetahs to look straight at the camera, so I was moving a lot for newer angles and in the hope of catching the eye.

One of them noticed me moving around, and then glared at me. For a few moments, my brain stopped working and I did feel a shiver down my spine. I was supposed to click but my fingers went numb when the cheetah continued staring towards me. I did however, manage to take this image while it watched. Later, when it got into a more provocative angle and moved its body to launch towards me, I left the scene.

AUTHOR
Sourav (or Rav) is a passionate landscape, cityscape and seascape photographer. Through his photography, he tries to both pursue and depict the perfection of nature (or artificial nature), and create an inspiration for people to appreciate the things that really matter. His knowledge of photography is completely self-taught but his experience is a result of shooting-and-learning alongside friends and professional photographers of a very accommodating photographers' group in Australia called Focus Photographers.

Sourav lives in Sydney with his family. He is otherwise a full time Data Analytics, Intelligence and Information Subject Matter Expert, and an engineer, and thus, his approach to photography has grown from a technical angle, to an aesthetic sense of fine art. He enjoys the combination of family, friends, photography and travelling. He carries his full camera gear with him when he travels. His photography has earned him recognition in national and international competitions.
