Cheetah at sunset

[Jmaes]

I just got back from spending 10 days in South Africa, photographing wildlife. Had some amazing encounters and photographic opportunities.

This cheetah was on the verge of jumping up on to a tree. For the briefest of moments, it gave a me a glance and I was able to get this shot.

Man-o-man, what a superior photo. It's eyes are locked on to your camera lens. Bonus is the angle of the tree! wow
