Morkel, I like this a lot. The alert poses, the tongue, the tails, the DoF, IQ, the cheetahs looking in different directions, the hind quarters of the rear cheetah visible between the legs of the front cheetah. Great stuff.

Really like this composition. Each of the poses could stand on their own, together they compliment each other nicely.

You are a lucky dude Morkel. Very well done, I am envious of your sighting! In my trip to Kenya and Tanzania in 10 safari days, I could only see 3 cheetahs but that too from a distance!
eager to see more of them from you!

Steve says it for me - two great poses in one! And an admirable keeper rate!
Thanks for sharing,

Hi Morkel, you certainly captured the beauty of these two magnificent animals with the wonderful side-lighting. I love the complimentary colors of the cheetahs and the background. The face on the front cheetah is beautiful, and the visible tongue is a plus. A real keeper! As long as you are cleaning up the distracting elements, I think I'd clone out the two light-colored rocks to the left of the front cheetah's head.

Very nice image Morkel. Like the way how they are looking at two different directions. Perfect techs and very complementing background.

These two look like a pair of teenagers. Is it just me or is this a little bright and soft in areas?
Great comp though Morkel and one day I will get myself out on an african safari.

Lovely capture, Morkel. Nice to see the one in the front licking its chops and "wagging" its tail. It's esp nice to see 2 in the frame. Have fun culling your images!!!

Wow such a lovely image, it's all been said but worth repeating. Great composition, exposure looks perfect, the cats looking in two different direction can siometimes hurt an image but here I think it makes this one stronger.

Hi Mork, love the light in this, and as Ive just seen cheetah on my recent trip with no light, Im extremely jealous.
Their honey eyes stand out well, and good that the BG is separated enough from them. The central placement works well.

Thanks a lot Gen, Steve and Stu. You know how I feel about 'removing' those stones, so they'll stay
