    Default Okavango swamp cat bros.

    Captured this image whilst these 2 bros closely followed their alpha male brother on his mating quest with a lone female.
    Would have loved a head-on angle.

    A head on angle would have been better, but this is still very good indeed. The eye positions show concentration, and I am not surprised, anything could be in that water.

    Hi Marc Two is so much more powerful than one, fine image. Don't mind angle much since it also shows the back in a mirror pose !! Sweet image !!! .... space in frame is just perfect !!!

    Very nicely done Marc. Can almost feel their discomfort too and apprehension walking through the water.

    Really like how both are walking so close together. Also like the room you left in front of the image.

    I agree with Alfred. I don't mind the side profile. The face shows immense concentration. I would reduce the sharpening a bit. Thanks for sharing.

    Oh my, Siamese twins ! A great image, I loved it, it's a visual treat, shows how closely they bond in real life. The slashing water adds to the dynamics.

    Thanks Saby
    Selective sharpening applied to the bros only.

    An interesting image to view. They seem to be uncomfortable and remind me of two scared kids, holding hands, slowly walking through a dark forest. I like the detail in the manes and how close their faces are to each other.
