I always love to see Cheetahs with a kill, even better if they keep it for themselves.

200-400 mm F4 at 200 mm F 7.1 (should have been lower)
ISO 400 (should have been higher)

Ken, I really like this shot. Great look on the cheetah's face. I did notice a green cast to it so I took the liberty of making a small white balance adjustment. See what you think.

Jerry,
This was just after the rains and as I remember it was quite green as the plains of Africa often are, but I have to say your repost looks more natural.

Ken,
very nice behavior photo and I like it as posted. The eyes of the cheetah are a real "eye catcher" for me
Longer time ago I have realized, and as well others, that the small images in the post all over have a greenish touch. Once one opens the larger version that is gone, like in this case as well.

Hey Ken,
Yes, happy cheetah indeed. Not sure the "other guy" feels the same way!
I agree that the original post did have a bit of a greenish cast to it, but in some grassy environments I think the reflected light creates a natural green cast (so while Jerry's repost may "appear" more natural, I'm not sure it actually is).
Cheers...
Brad

Green is difficult in Africa asI believe most people expect to see dry and yellow.
In my experience it is often very green
