You must be getting tired of my recent spate of cheetah postings...but they were really just SOOO good to me in the Kgalagadi recently. I think I have more cheetah files from that 11-day trip than of all other animals combined (maybe an exaggerated statement, but you get the point).
I like "animal on ridge line" shots and this one is no exception. A nice simple composition, the raised bag leg gives it a nice little sense of motion.
Killer blue sky and nice ridge line COMP. Ken nailed the big problem: too much grass by the chin--it takes a lot away from the animal. Nice leg positions.
