Patiently waiting...
A very young Hyena pup waits outside the den entrance for the rest of the Clan to arrive back, hopefully with food!

A very good evening to you Steve,
Skipped a few images and jumped to the top thread, love Spotties so much and could not resist. Such a cutie, waiting on the edge of the den, hope someone pitched up at some stage with a morsel or two?
Lovely image well exposed and well framed, nice DoF, subject stands out beautifully. Great detail on the face ( love those eyes) and I like that the paws are in focus too. Colours spot on.
As usual a well processed image with great IQ, nice and sharp where it matters, pose is superb. May I use it as a screen saver for a while... it would cheer me up tremendously!
On my side of the woods, battling here as usual with 'load shedding' every evening and some high temperatures that demand air conditioning...
Summer is in full swing here and sightings are quite rare at the moment, just too hot for the animals to move around. So no new images, will have to look at some Kruger folders from May or September, probably during the weekend
Hope all is well on your side? I shall get in touch again soon, and thank you so much for sharing, I enjoyed this tremendously!
Warmest regards,
Gabriela Plesea
Thanks Gabriela, did you notice the fly on the bridge of the nose?Lovely image well exposed and well framed, nice DoF, subject stands out beautifully. Great detail on the face ( love those eyes) and I like that the paws are in focus too. Colours spot on.
Personally not great framing, as I had to come in from the LHS because of another sibling entering the frame... as they do. Also with hindsight this was initially done with Enhance before launch and so I think it does have a few flaws from my perspective, I might have gone down a different route.
No need to ask, if you send me the screen size I will crop and forward.May I use it as a screen saver for a while... it would cheer me up tremendously!
Time to get back on that saddle.So no new images, will have to look at some Kruger folders from May or September, probably during the weekend
Enjoy what's left of the evening.

Cannot really see flaws...I lookedDid think maybe a tad more on the LHS would have been better but knowing you there must have been a reason for the framing...Could you not remove the other character on the LHS?
My screen is 27 inch (5120 x 2880)Thank you so much for allowing me to use this as a screen saver! Been catching up with work after my absence but hope to find time again to play at the week-end
Have a great rest of the week, I will be in touch!
Warmest regards,

Hi Steve,
This is a fine image of the cub. I'm really enjoying the intense stare - almost as if he is worried whether or not they will return, food or no food.
I also like that the paws are in focus and I am quite fascinated by the way the claws on the second and third toes seem to be together, almost as if the two claws are between the toes. (I checked, and they're not!) And the pads themselves are quite fascinating.
Nothing I can add about the image processing - it looks perfect. The composition is good with me - a little more space for him to look into might be nice, but it works beautifully without.
Thanks for sharing.

Sorry slow to reply - internet problems, Super fine details and ideal colours for me just a little cramped, I would have preferred a little more space on the LHS, other than that just about perfect for me,
Thanks Jon.
No can do, as I explained, but in an ideal world definitely!I would have preferred a little more space on the LHS

Hi Steve ... what a cute presentation of this pup .
Love the IQ and the overall tonal/color palette .
Not to keen on the chosen crop or comp ... wish for more room to left and top / bottom , you might have had a reason for the comp.

Brilliant. It looks so real, I just want to go and give it a wee clap. Great detail, pose and I love those paws.
Will
Cheers Will.
