Description: Cheetah in search of a meal in the vast savannah of Maasai Mara
Story from behind the lens: Cheetah was on the move and in search of food. It felt like the animal was tired, may be from a failed kill attempt earlier that day. But it has to continue the search to fill its stomach. Just another day at Maasai Mara! Capturing the cheetah along with the savannah, I was trying to convey the daily struggles of these animal to find the prey in these vast landscapes. Framed the scene with the iconic Balanites tree along with rolling hills in the backdrop.
