Hello Aivar

What an interesting and superb capture!
I'm guessing it is nto often one gets the chance to encounter such a beautiful moment...3 splendid cats in the probably best possible light.
Very well captured. Excellent POV, lovely colors, great exposure and compo.

Bravo and TFS
Horia

haha, excellent capture, aivar! :-)
terrific line-up - frings, ballack and schweinsteiger? *g*
well composed and with great warm sunset-light.
i always thought that cheetahs would hunt alone, good to see it differently.
well done & take care, thorsten.

Hello Aivar,
what an experiance this must have been to witness this in the wild. Great hunting formation very well captured. The POV and angle you choosen is excellent. Wonderful light and very nice sharpness. The timing was great, you even got very good eye contact from these hunters.
Excellent composition.
TFS..Sky

Hi Aivar,
Unique capture. Outstanding composition and definitely something you would not often see..Defense? More likely an unbeatable offensive formation ;)
Very well done.

Hi Aivar,
That is an amazing shot! To get three of them walking in perfect formation like that is something. Nice warm soft light and a spot on exposure. The colors and detail look superb. Great shot!
