Really like that intense look and uplifted foot. Very nice.

Mum looks anxious and worried. Her expression really makes this an outstanding image.

Lifted paw is a big plus and the expression is compelling. Nice.

Nice head-on shot Ken. Always great to be alone with cheetah's and not have hoards of vehicles jockeying around.
