Cheetah mom & cub

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

The mom & cub rested in the shade after a long walk across the plains as we followed them. Tamed the HL in the BG and lifted some shadows.

Hi Sanjeev - This is a tough one with the cheetahs in the heavy shadow and the bg bright. I wish more of the cub was visible and that mom was turned slightly to camera. The cheetah and cub look a little flat and like maybe you lifted the shadows a bit too much. I would give the midtones a bit more punch. Btw you don't have an embedded color profile on the image.

TFS,
Rachel

Sanjeev, a difficult shot because of lighting but I think you've done quite well in the circumstances.
