Death struggle
I photographed this scene in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve last year. The struggle lasted about 10 minutes in complete silence, before the impala succumbed to the cheetah's stranglehold. The light levels were extremely low, I had to drop down to 100th of a second and rely on the VR to safe the image. I removed one distracting grass stem. No crop. Processing in LR and PS.
