A quiet Friday RP
As the previous posting corrupted for some unknown reason....
Cheetah brother on a mound. It's too central as presented I needed to move the whole frame more right.

Dear Steve,
This is one lovely image! Great expression from the cheetah, was he yawning or just panting on a very hot day? Great POV and IQ is as good as always, wonderful detail, colours and tones.
I like that the horizon line is not harsh and runs in line with the subject's neck, rather than the face. Regarding crop, I prefer the second version - good to have more space on the LHS just in case the subject turns to look the other way
If you have some images of the two brothers interacting I would love to see. Enjoyed viewing, very much, thank you so much for sharing!
PS You might remember my cheetah boys at the quarry near the house...sadly not that nice, the mounds were made up of stone so not looking natural...
Warmest regards,
Gabriela Plesea
Thanks for the RP comment Gabriela.
Fingers crossed your boys return one day too.

My boys are around, Steve. One was seen just outside the gate the other day but disappeared by the time I arrived with the camera. Was so upset, looked all over the place but no luck...eventually had to leave, was late for workOriginally Posted by Steve Kaluski

Lovely posing Cheetah on termite mound ... does look very nice overall .
Just wish for more detail in the very dark eye area ... without going overboard , maybe a touch more light into it . The open jaw is cool ...
Nice job Steve and TFS Andreas
Beautiful image Steve. The detail on both subject and 'perch' is perfect. Love it. Regarding the crop. I sometimes come across this, when the bird is looking behind, but the body facing in the opposite direction. I tend to leave the head near to the middle, especially if there is nothing in the BG to offset it.

Cheers Will, personally I should not have shot it, just moved the camera more to the right, a few seconds delay would have made for a better frame. Obvuiously its quite easy to add more, but if you can avoid it I would and strong suggest just move it, there is nothing you will gain with Mirrorless keeping the subject in the middle of the frame compared to DSLR.

Super shot my only reservation is the head being central.
Thanks Jon, but if you read the replies then you would know I wasn’t happy with the original capture.
