I have a bit of a problem in working this image, so would like some help.
This is the Super Mom Cheetah at Mashatu. She had 5 cubs and has managed to raise 4 of them to this day. The cubs are about 15 months old and healthy.
On this early morning, she was on the move looking for dinner while trying to slip away from the 3 hyenas who follow her trail. I love this eye level view when she got on a small hill looking at the impala at a distance.
Light was a bit difficult, coming from the right and she was under the shade of the tree.
1DX
100-400 II @ 220mm
1/800
f5.6
ISO-1600
HH.
I reduced the overall contrast, boosted the mid tone via Levels, and applied a small curves to the cheetah.
Thank you in advance for your comments.
