A bit of a different composition here.
A cute fluffy cheetah cub we saw at Leopard Hills in the Sabi Sand last year snuggles on its mother. I liked the flow of cheetah through the image, and appreciate that the composition might not sit well with most who prefer traditional image-making. Sad story: they were 4 cubs, and by the time we visited, only 2 remained. Both were killed by other predators within a month after this photo was taken, and the female has moved to a different area since. Cheetah cubs have very high mortality rates, and that's even without them being captured for the exotic pet trade in the middle East...
