Blood Brothers

Another old one taken at Zibilianja 26th September 2004 very early in the morning.
Sorry about the one at the back still being asleep!

EOS 1D MkII

100-400 at 400mm

F11 (I used to think this lens was soft, but I think this is a bit too much), 1/160, ISO 400

A great image of the famous three here Ken, despite the sleepwalker.:D Could use some added contrast/saturation boost to enhance this trio.

I actually like the one who's still asleep - the cheetah is after all the only cat who wakes up with the dogs :)
my 100-400 is quite sharp @ f7.1-8.0...:)

Beautiful brothers, Ken, and the one sleepwalking *** a touch of humor. They are in very good condition!.

[Austin Thomas]

Good to see three Ken. It does have humour when the front two are clearly focussed or concerned about something up ahead and the third one is oblivious.

I would crop tighter personally.

Nice looking trio. Agree with a little boost in contrast and sat. TFS

Thanks for your comments, I must have had yet another convert to JPEG moment, the original is certainly a little warmer.

Callie,
These three were nearly always in good condition a very succesful coaslition whose "story" was told in Blood Brothers a totally fake documentary. I have some videos on YouTube,

Nice one ! Sadly, the angle of approach and the lack of saturation/contrast makes little impact in this image with potential. It can be improved with some post processing for sure.

Here is a repost with a tad more saturation and a smaller crop.
