About This image is not about photographic quality, but rather for you to share the exhilirating moment of being so close to a wild animal.

Pictured with my husband Robert is Chaka's handler, a Swedish lady called Blue. She settled in South Africa 14 years ago and also trains some of the lions at the Lion Park that we visited a couple of weeks ago.

As you can see in this image, it was not possible for a "decent pose". As I mentioned in an earlier post, humans are not allowed to bend down or be in any position lower (or as low as) the Cheetah.

Memories of a life time.
Linn this had to be a total thrill. I have seen cheetahs at the zoo but I have never even come close to being allowed to get close.
I like the surroundings as it represents the true moment, a moment most of us will never have.
Beautiful !!!
Did you get some pictures of yourself with the Cheetah ?
What a thrill of a lifetime.

That is some cat Linn. Beautiful. These guys must be a bit more to handle then your kitties I would think :-). Your hubby actually got to pet her. That must have been an experience.

You shot it how it was, very nice, and I like that you didn't use a flash. Very natural.
I know what you mean about being close to a wild animal. (I have several interesting 'animal' stories)

Nice image Linn and thanks for sharing,
Lori ;)

Truly fascinating. I don't see any fault in quality or any other tech concerns. It's more journalistic or documentary, and seeing it for the pure joy of it is its own reward. Thanks for sharing with us!
