    The high yellow weeds was very distracting.

    Thank you for all C and C.

    Hi Haim,

    Nice to see you here.

    Even with the tall grass, you got a good clean view of the cheetah's face. I think this would work well also as a vertical.

    Agree about the vertical version.

    Another good image illustrating the day to day struggle of life & death in the Mara. I think you have done remarkable well considering the tall grasses here Haim. Perhaps a bit more room on the rhs would have been ideal, but perhaps Roberts suggestion of a vertical crop does offer another alternative and may even strengthen the whole composition, although I do like this as presented.

    Did the Cheetahs managed to eat their meal or were they disturbed?

    Haim,

    Great stuff, the surrounding grass is what this type of shot should have, and does not distract me.

    Clipping the tail is a bit of a nuisance, but I think it could be "rectified".

    Lokks like a Thompsons Gazelle to me, standard Cheetah fodder in the Mara.

    Great intensity captured. I agree that a vertical crop would be a good alternative.

    nice intense moment here Haim - and as mentioned you did well amongst the busy surrounds...maybe Robert's suggestion would work best...go in tighter and maybe do a repost?
