Pretty neat, fantastic to see all the cubs.

Hi Steven - Great to see all the cubs. I would prefer more room left and right, especially to the right where mom and one of the cubs are looking intently.

Also it would be great to have your thoughts on more images. As you know, we recommend commenting on 3-5 other wildlife images each time you post one of your own.

TFS,

What a wonderful calm image I really like to see the mane on the cubs, it must have been a wonderful experience to have been there.
I did wonder if the image had a little too much yellow in it but you will know better than I.

Just a wonderful 6 pack family portrait here Stephen, agree on a tad more room all round if you have it, and would reduce the warmth in the WB a little also. This wouldn't happen to have been captured back in 2010?

I remember documenting Shingo and her 6 pack in the Mara during this time, she went on to successfully raise ALL of her half dozen, an amazing feat and mother!

Wonderful capture Stephen,

Great pose from the cheetah mom and her busy little cubs, nice choice of DoF here.

This is well processed, sharpness is there and good detail on the subjects. I do find the framing a bit tight and yellows a tad too strong.

One of your loveliest images I have seen so far, so special a scene to witness and photograph, please show us some more if you have

Thank you so much for sharing,

Kind regards,

[Stephen Earle]

Marc,

Thanks for the comments. Yes, this is a frame from 2010. What a special time that was!
