At the San Diego Wild Animal Park you can go watch the Cheetahs any day, all day and you know what you will see? You will see how they sleep. You will see how many confy positions they can get themselves in to sleep in. BUT, if you are lucky like I was, you may have some out of control loud little boy run by and wake them up. I don't think they were too happy with him as this one eyed him up and thought he looked like a perfect lunch that day.

I was going to make a comment that this looked like the pair by the WAP tram. Nice that you caught them in action. I've gotten several shots of them sleeping or with some movement.

You were robbed here. I know it's in a zoo which I'm not wild about(get it?), but you captured a great moment where the body language is really saying something. I get fed up of seeing close ups of bird's faces - all at zoos - winning ribbons. (I gave you an 8 by the way)

I like that you captured a second when the cheetah actually looks awkward - they're usually such graceful animals!

Nice, but looks too much like a snapshot. I cropped version of just the face would have been nice.

A few steps over to the right and you could have gotten this one with out the other one in the background, improving the shot, I think. (not voting yet)
