    Default Teething troubles.

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    Not venturing too far from their hide-out, but keen to investigate their new surroundings, the cubs spent some time tumbling over logs and each other as their mother was out on the hunt.
    This 4 week old leopard cub was using this branch as a teething ring!.........cuteness personified.
    One of two mum had hidden inside this partially hollowed collapsed tree.
    Note the cub's scratches top left, OOF branches left as is.

    D3s 500VR 1/320s f/4 ISO3200 Sth Luangwa NP- Zambia Nov 2011.

    C & C most welcome

    Cheers
    Marc

    Marc, I have to say that this image just doens't work for me. This is the fourth time I have looked at it. While I am sure it was a lot of fun to watch the antics of this little one, this particular image doesn't seem to translate on "film."

    Your probably right Marina, appreciate your honesty, it's certainly a case of you just had to be there

    Hi Marc,
    i think it was for sure nice and exciting to witness the action.
    But i have to say , photography wise it is not catching me.
    IQ is good in the surrounding, but the main subject looks heavily processed, for me.

    Sorry, Marc.
    TFS Andreas

    What a moment! I kind of agree with Marina and Andreas here...
    The first thing that struck me, was the overdone 'crispiness' of the cub's fur...oversharpening or maybe something else you did in PP?
    This might do a bit more for me if the cub "looked better" (no other way of saying it, mate ) and if you perhaps cropped closer from top and LHS...
    At ISO3200 on the D3s you should be able to salvage enough on the cub?

    It does look a touch too sharp on the cub, (in this web image at least) my processing was the usual curves, levels, S/H, nothing excessive.
    Here's the little guy facing us.
