The last of a coalition of four cheetahs crossing the plain in Kruger National Park. This one had been distracted and fell behind. Once he realized he'd been left, he raced to catch up. I caught him nicely with a slow shutter pan.

Doug,
I love the motion blur and the way it separates the Cheetah from the background. This really took a steady hand and maybe a little luck:) My only suggestion would be to consider making this more of a panoramic crop to get ride of some of the lower part of the frame. But overall great shot.
John
