    Another image of this special sighting between the Rooibrak and Montrose waterholes in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, South Africa, earlier this year. These two subadult cheetahs were part of a litter of three cubs that followed their mom on patrol...

    Love the look-back poses here against that blue sky, the POV rocks as it always does shooting up these ridges.
    Exposure is well controlled, though I would watch the sharpening as the fur around the faces and rumps is beginning to look 'sticky'...
    Overall, great work here, having them in the centre works great with the poses/gazes!

    Love this one. Typical cheetah pose, looking worrisome around. Very good pp.

    I love the pose and pov on this image. My biggest concern would be the faces as they are starting to look a bit brittle which could be a sharpening issue as Morkel suggests or some other processing you applied. Hard to determine at this size but might be worth looking at the steps you took as it applies to the faces. Centre position works well.

    Hi Rudi - great poses and pov. I agree the center comp works well. Good point about the faces and sharpening made above.

    TFS,

    Thanks for the feedback guys! Might have been a bit heavy on the sharpening here...
