Brian Anderson, Staring into your sole (July theme: Eyes)

The cheetah stared down every visitor to the enclosure, keeping a sharp eye (and ear) on the colour, shape, noise and movement. It was as if it was staring into your sole, and listening to your heart. The cheetah, one of the residents of the Canberra Zoo and Aquarium, was sitting atop a shelter, well back from the viewing point, watchful but unfazed by the passing people.
