6.34pm,
dusk and with a successful hunt by his mum, a confident 3 mth old full bellied male cheetah cub strides off to join his sister on the open grassland plains of the Eastern Serengeti.

Wonderful photo! Love the shallow depth of field and soft background. The eye contact is great!

That is a full belly, Marc! Beautiful shot and I love the light as it illuminates the face perfectly as this cub strides by.

Beautiful image, I love the attitude of the subject and the depth of field that makes this shot almost a painting.

Love the full-bellied pose and the beautiful striding cub in a soft environment. A real pleasure to view, especially enlarged. Congratulations!

Great to see the full belly and your timing was spot on. Nice light on his face, too

Awesome shot Marc. There is a nice mix of sharp focus and soft bokeh and soft fur and sharp details that really works. Love the distant elongated horizon with sky above in the 16:9 format - I'm of fan of that!
