Congratulations Steve Kaluski
Cheetah - 'ring of fire'

Taken some time ago in the Mara, Kenya, I am always looking for different ways on how to convey a subject. Most of the time its very straight forward and possibly rather predictable, but now and then (especially with digital) you can experiment

Shot in that great window of early light, this Cheetah had just brought down a baby Impala, heart racing, chest beating she took time to draw breathe, but was always mindful that there could be someone else eager to take the kill.
