Love the setting in this one, Ken. The water drops add charm to it. Also, the proud pose is perfect.

Cheers,

Hisham.

The setting, the rain, the look all add up to make this one special.

It will be very difficult to get a better image than this one. Downright excellent.

Beautiful pose and the soft background on the left is special...making it a bit more obvious that the thorny bush is a little intrusive on the cheetah's space!

Love the alert look and the flip of the tail. Wonderful setting and pose.
