    Beautifully done. Even though elements of the surroundings are prominent, they do not fight for the viewer's attention. I love the way the light works in the photo.

    One good looking cat and amazing sharpness for the chosen shutter speed Great technique !!!! Only suggestion I have is the grasses up front could be a little further away form the face? Do love it as presented !!! Big Congrats !!!!

    Nice one Steve and a little different from all the others you usually see. Which reserve in the Sabi Sand?

    I totally agree with Al here, maybe you could try to clone out the grasses close to the head to see how it looks. Otherwise a very special photograph! Well done!

    Awesome looking image and the grasses go quite well with the cheetah. I too agree with eliminating the grasses close to the face.
