Hi Christain - how is it going.

This is the Tiger's turn.
Unfortunately photographed through mesh.
However we are fortunate to still be alive ...

Some nice photos steve #1 is great perhaps a little less exposure (less shadow/highlight adjustment perhaps?) needed and shallower depth of field to help isolate the cheetah more from background. Be interesting to see the effect using PP lens blur filter.
I tell you that's about as close as you'd ever want to get to a tiger and be seen as breakfast!
cheers
