Cheetah Cubs

[Hendri Venter]

This two cubs were waiting on a ridge for their mothers call while she went hunting. When they heard her call and spotted her they were off in a flash. Captured in Kgalagadi.

lovely alert pose Hendri....

not certain what has happened to the LHS of the frame if it is just an OOF branch? or a result of cloning ..

nice detail in the coats of the cubs ....

Thanks Peter. What you see is a OOF branch. I suppose I could have cloned it.

I like the angle here, together with their alert postures. I just love the light on their honey eyes. Great sighting, and well captured mate.

Hendri, another great KTP post to go with your leopard on the dune. I would change nothing to this image and I'm seriously green- have NO cheetah images at all. Well spotted and executed. I especially like the eyes and fur.

[David Fletcher]

Superb IQ and details Hendri and the look in their eyes are outstanding. Well done.

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Oh I love this one Hendri. Superb low angle with a great composition. The detail and eye contact is just outstanding . Did I say I love it :D:D

Very nice image here Venter, the look and concentration on the cubs faces is really well portrayed.
