Excellent. The angles of the heads and necks work great and you still managed to get some detail in the cheetah's eyes despite the downward angle of the head. I assume some folks might prefer a slightly looser crop, but I like it since it really emphasizes the shapes and angles of the two subjects.

Jagdeep,
You have really captured a "moment" here
The Tommy looks like quite a big one for a Cheetah to bring down, I would like to see a little more space if you have it.

Hi Jagdeep,
Ahh, the week wouldn't be complete without at least one blood and gore image - and this is definitely a "Nature, Red in Tooth and Claw" sort of shot. Besides the real world drama in this shot, there are some nice lines and diagonal elements to this shot. I find the image just a tad too dark (especially the eyes of the cheetah) and perhaps cropped just a bit too tight on top (wished that ear tip wasn't clipped) but besides that minor thing I like the intimate view here. Overall an eye-catching shot.
Cheers...
Brad

Awesome capture! Now that's what you call a "National Geographic moment!"
