Once again, thanks everyone for your support and kind comments.
To answer some of the questions:
The photo was taken in the Masai Mara Triangle in Kenya, with a Sony A900 and a 70-200 f/2.8 at 85mm f/7.1. Knowing Cheetahs' life style we could slightly anticipate were they would go to get a nice viewpoint to spot some food to hunt.
The color version has less punch but you can see it on my Flickr pages http://www.flickr.com/photos/nomadcom/5094631539/sizes/l/
No doubt a fantastic photograph. Question to ponder. How many of us day-to-day photography nuts are going to have the opportunity to get a shot like that? Why even enter our photos?
