Very nice shots. I especially like 3 & 5. Not so keen on No.1 just because of the fence, however appreciate this may be slightly unavoidable in the 'big cat' area of a Zoo !!
Well done.

Good practise run, they're all worthy shots. Hope you get a good day at the safari park Darren.

Were you shaking a sausage in the air for #5, you certainly got his attention
Nice shots, are any cropped or is that the zoom doing it's job?

The Cheetah's are quite good to shoot at this zoo as they seem to sit in one place a lot of the time facing the glass. #5 was taken at about 145mm. I've posted a new one below again this is about half the original picture but taken at 250mm
