What an amazing photo of a seemingly innocent scene. Cheetahs are by far one of the most beautiful African animals.

You had to have been either very quick or very patient! That’s a spectacular photo! I visited the Masaai Mara serveral times and you don’t come across a cheetah that easily. Thank you!

This is the best daily photo I’ve seen on this site. Love the b&w, the composition and even the way the harsh lighting brings focus to the cheetah’s spots. Awesome!
Cedric
Thanks every for your kind comments
the color version is far from having that I pact due to the mix of colors (blue sky, white clouds, dark tree and yellowish cheetah).
This shot is taken at 90mm. We were following 3 cheetahs from a distance and at a certain stage we decide to anticipate their move. This log was the only view point so appreciated by cheetahs so we arrived there first and waited about 15/20 mins. A gamble that paid
