Cheetah

Thought it was about time for an African animal, in Africa ( although there are plans to re-introduce these to India )
This youngster around 18 months was first seen by us as a cub the previous year, but was now out on her own.

It's all about the eyes with Cheetahs. You captured them. Nice job.

Wonderful detail, Ken. Oh, to have some soft directional light to give it more pop!

Jerry and Lon,

Thanks very much, the Cheetah was unfortunately in the shade, and I certainly do not blame her , it was a hot day
