I usually try to capture some detail, even in silhouettes, but this image of a cheetah and termite mound seemed to call for the full black out of the subject against the twilight sky. Photographed in the Linyanti concession of Botswana. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 70-200mm (at 200mm) ISO 800, f/8 at 1/200th of a second.

——- The Cheetas’ athletic profile shows
——- The opposite in repose
——- Should we not perceive a threat
——- We can enjoy these silhouettes.

Do cheetahs feed on termites? Perfect Halloween colors.
No, but they like to perch on their mounds to get a better view across the savanna.

That’s an exceptional silhouette, Sean!
Thanks Sue.
