Understandable pride, Don.
This is beyond excellent.
Plus it's an amazing combination of circumstances:
Had the prey turned to fight instead of run, the cheetah would probably have chosen to avoid those big horns. But even after a million years+ the bigger male (impala here?) haven't learned that.
Probably the chase zigged and zagged all over the place, and yet the climax was aimed straight at you.
And you had all the right luck and incredible skill to capture the take-down perfectly.
No doubt your heart was pounding at the time, but you still nailed the shot.
Truly a "shot of a lifetime."
