Cheetah Lunchtime, a photo from Coast, East

Photographer's Note

Cheetahs were the first animals I encountered when I stayed at the Ngutuni Lodge near Voi in Kenya.

They were spectacular animals and a group of them were enjoying a nice lunch of impala when we first caught sight of them.

Whenevr I have seen photographs of cheetahs before, I was always a little suspicious as the angle of their head when they looked over their shoulder made it look as if it had been superimposed. However, when i finally got to see them in the wild, I can say hand-on-heart that they can crane their necks into funny positions!

I see I'm not the only user of Tamron 55-200 lens at TrekEarth.

Maybe a bit wider angle shot, including the whole cheetah on the right side would also be good. Other than that - very successful photo.
