Had to laugh when I opened this as that tail gave the impression of a fifth leg stabiliser. Would have loved to have seen a full curl here.
Love the defensive and yet agressive posture and also that sweet light fully visible in this mum's eyes, very nice Gabriela. Nice to hear that all were safe in the end..........we need to hang onto our Cheetah numbers*.
*My guide and I back in June @ Namiri watched one of the cheetah bros die in front of us from what we believe was a male leopard attack and that was very hard to take, and sadly statistics show that if there were only a pair, the odds of the other surviving past another year is only around 10%, anthropomorphically speaking a "broken heart" perhaps.
Latest news is he's doing well, and will hope to check on his progress when I return late November.

Very nice. Love the pose with the intent stare. The composition works well. Image quality held up nicely from the large crop. Sweet light as well. Hope to see more of your work old or new.

Hi Gabriela - My first reaction was the same as Marc's about the tail, it looks like a fifth leg. You can see how they use it as a sort of rudder when at full speed. I like the stare and light. The IQ has held up despite the large crop.

Hi Gabriela, the tail is a bit unfortunate and I find the capture a little 'awkward' in the pose. Love the fixed stare and hunch of the back and inclusion of the hill, but here I might have gone tighter on the head to maximise that intenseness you have in the face.

Hello Steve!
Thank you so much for feedback, lovely to hear from you
I get you, just think I cannot go any tighter - unfortunately it is a fairly big crop.
Warmest regards,
