A very nice mix of action and portraits. They are all very good, # 5 & 6 and the last 4 portraits stand out for me. The B&W are excellent but I prefer the color shots. A fine set of images.

Wow, incredible photos!!

Well done capturing the cheetah while running, it can be incredibly challenging to keep them in the viewfinder once they get going.

I especially love the portraits taken with the 600mm. The way the background just melts away is really beautiful.

1,3 and 10 really make me want to cuddle these guys but 6 and 7 show me that�s probably not a good idea. Great photos
