Golden Eyes

Hello Everyone !! It has been a while since I last posted an image so here goes one from the February safari I hosted in Ndutu.

A female Cheetah posing on a dead tree in fabulous early morning light . . . We spent many hours over the 6 days we stayed in this part of the Serengeti ecosystem. She was accompanied by 2 cubs and all three gave us many many great opportunities. We saw them play, hunt, in the rain, in golden light, in bad light and in no light ....

Stunning image! Not the tiniest nit from me - just about perfect. Great pose, full face and eyes, fine detail and colours. Looking forward to more of the cheetahs
