We were very lucky to see this cheetah with the cubs and the kill. The mother was still breathing heavily from the chase and she let the cubs eat first.

Hello Pedro,

Superb image. I like the tone and the behavior of the mother who protects her childrens.

(-) one badly sees the children, you could have approached you to remove the grasses which obstruct!!! ;))))

What a moment you've captured here.
The colour of the wheat (grass?) is awesome, very natural in mood.
I love the protective expression on "Mom's" face too.
Well done!

Hi Pedro,

You definitely were lucky...!!! :)) You don't see this scene everyday... Really unique!!!
Great colours and lighting!! Sharp details (I think a little bit too sharp... :))) and nice POV!
Very well done and TF :)

Wonderful catch, Pedro. This is exciting! A cheetah with cubs in the wild! Wow, she does look the protective 'mom!' She'd probably bite our heads off if we intruded.

Hello Pedro.

Not luck.You had the camera and the shot presented itself.Well done-a wonderful image.
Lovely colours and extra ordinary pose by mother.
This is the type of image that would be at home in National Geographic. TFS.
Best wishes, Robert
