    I'm heading of to the Sabi Sand game reserve as it is a long weekend in South Africa. This image was made there just over a year ago. Hopefully we're in for some good sightings and even better light. 40D, 1/500, 7.1, ISO 250

    Stephen this is a lovely pose of the is magnificent animal. Great eye contact and I like the slightly open mouth. As already mentioned a little tight but great exposure and detail. Well done and will look forward to more. Have a great weekend.

    Stephen,

    Great shot, to me it looks a little too light?

    Have a great trip!

    Hey Stephen, lucky bugger off to Sabi. There is evidence of blood on the face, thus having eaten at a kill. The low angle works well, and like the comp. Have a good trip.

    Sweet image, maybe this time I'lll have a bit of luck spotting a Cheetah at Sabi Sand as it's not that simple to see a Cheetah there.
    you are very lucky and you captured it very well.
