Motif: Young male Cheetah searching for someone

Cheetah, Khalagadi Transfrontier Park, South Africa, November 2002, Eos 3 + 400/5.6L, Sensia 100, beanbag from car,slightly cropped

I couldn't resist joining this motif.

Here is a shot of a young male cheetah that I've found on our way from 2 Rivieren to Nossob. It was hiding behind a tree some hundred(s) meters from the road. I saw it's tail in the corners of my eyes. Luckily it decided to come to the road and walk along it for quite some time. It was quite early in the morning and nobody was around. We had a great time with this cat. The behaviour it showed was that it was barking and looking all around. It was most probably looking for some relative or so. This shot was at a moment just after he called a few times and he slowed his move to listen to a possible reply. We never heared a thing.

Comments and critique are very welcome, no matter how bad.
