This female cheetah and her three cubs were very happy in early morning. I enjoyed to watch them rather than the taking photo.

ISO 800

On bean bag onto the safari car safety bar.

Thank you very much for looking. Your C&C are appreciated.

Basri, that's beautiful.
the morning light is great and the intense look on her face is terrific. The termite mound is a bit obtrusive but doesn't spoil the shot.

Great shot. A little more room up top is all I might suggest.

Very nice job. What a beautiful animal and photo.
The catchligts in the eyes and the pose i great. I especially like the S curve through the image made by the body pose and the termite mound.

Incredible light here Basri, lovely moment up on the mound too (the Sands foliage can be very dense in February).
Always enjoy seeing those eyes...

Super pose Basri, she's tensed and very focused on something, makes for a compelling image. Colors are quite warm and pleasing, consistent with early morning. Very strong photo (you should be VERY happy with it I imagine), only nit, maybe a little more room all sides? Looks like you got some new gear too, that's super!
