Description: Beautiful early morning light and a cheetah alert in the grass - what a wonderful start to a day in the Mara.

Story from behind the lens: We were very lucky to spend so much time with this cheetah. He was that perfect combination of active and still, giving us many opportunities to photograph him on such a lovely morning. I love black and white images and the conversion from colour works here with the softness of the light.
