In my view a Cheetah is one of the most beautiful animals I have ever had the privilege to see.
Here is a fine example of a female, taken in Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe.

Definitely agee with you on the Cheetah's beauty and this one is a beauty indeed. Love that pensive look she has. Well done.

This is a refreshing look at a cheetah. She is a beautiful animal and your photo shows this! Pose, colors, details and BG are all top notch. Thanks for sharing.

Ken: this is an absolutely gorgeous photo, and it's a treat to see the cheetah against greenery as opposed to the usual brown of the dry season. Congrats! Richard
