You really know how to make me jealous. What a wonderful shot, do you have more?

[Grady Weed]

Africa...........it's, well Africa. It rocks.

Stephen,

Like how you got the opposing positions from the cats. Framing works well and you did not clip the elbow of the one drinking. Well done on watching the edges.

[Grady Weed]

What really got my eye was the tongue lick and the watchful eye of the the one on the left. while the the right sided one was drinking, but still wary. And yes not clipping the elbow was a bonus.

At times it is difficult to shoot when two carnivores are in the frame, as one may be looking away or in a distracting position. Here, both the Cheetahs are adding interest. The tongue is mentioned. And I agree that the elbow is an important part that has been taken care off. Well done.

[Cindy Cone]

Wonderful image of these cheetahs, Stephen. I agree with all the points mentioned above. Well done.

[Ed Cordes]

Outstanding! Looks like the one with the head lift is about to tell the other that they are on "Candid Camera". Oh Oh, I am showing my age.;) The placement in the frame is perfect and the sharpness right on.

Thanks to all of you for the comments. We had the luxury of spending two hours with these guys that day and were treated to some great opportunities.

Hi Stephen,
What everybody else above said! Nicely composed. The eyes on both definitely make this.
