[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Maybe you remember one of my other shots showing this cheetah with its cub.
This is the picture I took before the baby came.
How I already told you was this cheetah having a gazelle when It always cried for his cub.
It was looking for it about 20 minutes after it found it.
When I took this foto the cheetah lady was very close to us(about 7 meters)She stopped at this place made some voices and after that crossed the street.
I was very lucky to get such a foto.
Hope you like
best regards Toba

Amazing picture. The red on the nose is of course very documentaristic.
Excellent shot

Hi, Tobias -

This is a great composition; a little bit overbrightened though (at least on my monitor). Cheetahs in any context are hard to find; you got real lucky here - and you took full advantage of it.

Regards,
Dan

Hi Tobias,

It has a proud pace this cheetah. Very beautiful photograph of the animal in its environment. Indeed the red around its muzzle does not mislead. I like much his expression.

With all my friendships and good evening,

Jean-Charles

Hey Toba,
bisch ja fleißig an posten. Is auch wieder ein sehr schönes Bild mit klasse Motiv. Das blutverschmierte Maul zeigt ziehmlich deutlich wie´s in Tansania zugeht^^

Tobias,
Someone need to hand him a napkin to clean up. Wow, that looks like a good lunch. Very well captured. Very nice close up shot with Great detail. Color may is a little too much contrast. Was it raining earlier, he look a little bit wet. Thanks my friend for sharing your experience. Reminded me of the time I was there.

Tobias,
Nice close up of the cheetah, Good sharpness. Maybe a little too much contrast or too much saturation.
Otherwise very good quality.

Hello Tobias,
Beautiful animal well photographed!
Seems like you disturbed her lunch as judged by the face, hehehe...
Good point of view gives a pleasant composition, showing the animal in profile with fine details!
Greetings,
Pablo -

She looks like she has been out in the rain as her coat looks very wet. Amazing portrait with her face all covered in blood after a meal. Good work
Kath

Hey Toba,
cooles Portät, schöne Farben und ein guter Blickwinkel, der Gepard hat sich aber ins Zeug geworfen für die Kamera, sieht super aus. Also wüsste ich es nicht hätte ich auf keinen Fall gesehen, dass du es ein bisschen "dramatisiert" hast am Rechner. Also passt echt alles, gratulation zu dieser guten Arbeit!

Bonsoir,

Hello Tobias,

You're a very great artist, taking this cheetah is very difficult, certainly with blood at her nose.
Lovey real colours, lovely position, I know that I maybe difficult do, but the forelegs are not to see.
But I wish you absolutely great success my friend, congratulations.
Very well done, thanks for sharing.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

Hello Tobias
Indeed you were lucky to get this shot. Blood in it's mouth, the colours & spots stand out against the green grass. Compo. is just flawless. Very good work Toba!

Hallo Tobias,
Das ist eine wunderbare Katze. She's ready to jump again. I imagine it was blood of her last meal on the nose.
Schöne Grüsse aus Belgien

Hi Tobias!
Tolles Bild dieser schönen"Bestie".Welch stolze POse.Tolle Schaärfe und guter Kontrast mit der natürlichen Umgebung.
Gruß,Leo

Diese Kätzchen in freier Wildbahn zu erleben, muss doch aufregend sein. Da beneide ich dich. Er sieht immer noch sehr aufmerksam und angespannt aus. Das blutverschmierte Gesicht hat schon was. Tolle Aufnahme.
