Another sweet image & lovely composition Marc! Very nice light on the Cubs here and certainly the sharpness looks perfect. Awesome sighting indeed! TFS.

Darling cubs set nicely into the curved tree! Good that the dappled light catches both of their faces.

Hi Marc - Really cute image and the sharpness definitely looks better. I only wish the one on the left was also looking up but I bet you do too. Keep them coming.
TFS,
Rachel

Hi Marc - again a high cuteness factor coming into play here, but no wonder with this little guys
. You have controlled that dappled light well and that crunchiness is gone that the other image had .
Just for a technical info , have you used the clarity slider within ACR ? If so at what level ?

Thanks Andreas
Clarity in ACR was set to 20, and don't usually go any more than this.

I like the way they are framed by the tree and the dappled light has been well handled and the cubs pop nicely from the darker BG.

Great shot
I like the curious look of these to little cats. Composition is also great and of course details is very good.

Hello Marc,
What were those two cuties investigating, I wonder ?
All's been said above, just wanted to add that I really like the pose here, difficult light well handled and the composition is great with the inclusion of the tree in the frame.
Err...I want to grab them off the screen and place them on my lap
Have a wonderful evening,

Hi Marc, difficult lighting, but you handled it well here. Super cute. Would have loved to see the eyes of the cubs a little more, but know it was not possible with the cubs looking down and the light was harsh. TFS. Loi

I really love the way the cub on the right has his rear leg propped up against the tree stump and braced by his front paw, the expression is priceless........so cute!
Cheetah cubs at times have such serious faces and resemble old men at times!

Yeah this looks much better for the reasons mentioned, Marc.
I must say that, although this is a cute frame in and of itself, I do prefer the poses/moment of the previous one...

Tough lighting handled well.. Great subject just wish for a bit more eye contact on the left side cub.. Very nice!
