Two MSC winner stories.

John Walker writes:  I'm feeling quite chuffed this morning. One of my favourite shots of a Cheeta from my 2018 safari in the Kruger has just won not only the judges' first prize but also my peers' in a photo competition! Read the judges' review!

This is such a gorgeous image of a Cheetah. The composition is strong as the wider perspective incorporates its perch and takes advantage of the surrounding expanse. The colors are soft and pleasing and the depth of field is just right as the cat and foreground are in focus while the Acacia tree and background are pleasingly blurred. This will make a great print. Excellent work!  Reviewed by Joshua Galicki.
