Honored to have gotten this commendation! My name is Geoffrey Giller; I'm a science writer and photographer.
I took this image while visiting a friend who was conducting hyena research in the Masai Mara of Kenya. I had my Canon f/4L 300mm lens on my Canon 1D IIN, and I was fortunate that our jeep was just barely far enough away to squeeze both the cheetah and the acacia tree in the distance into the frame. The cheetah was also kind enough to turn back and smile for the camera.
