      I don't think this'll be everyone's cuppa. Also - it needs to be viewed at higher resolution to "get it" IMHO. Anyway - your thoughts, as always, are most welcome!

      I found 2 male cheetahs north of Nossob in the Kgalagadi one morning at very first light (about halfway to Cubitje). This is one frame from that sighting.

      Lovely 'Animal in the Environment' shot! The image is nicely balanced by the tree in the top left & the gorgeous light tops it off. VWD!

      I am very, very new to photography and do not know anything about the "technical stuff". From an artistic point it is a stunning image.
