    A friendly soul informed me yesterday that this image had been stolen from my old gallery on Outdoor Photo and posted on another site claimed as hers and offered for sale, luckily she was caught out and it seems that all of her images have been taken down.
    Given that someone thought there was money to be made I thought it maybe worthwhile sharing it here, I cannot remember posting it before.

    Taken in Masai Mara, Kenya, 14th September 2007 on a dull overcast morning.

    EOS 1D MkIIn

    500mm F4 on bean bag from closed game viewing vehicle

    F4.5, 1/125, ISO 1000

    Very interesting background story Ken, money to be made .........at your expense unfortunately.
    Not sure how she would have made much money as images submitted on Outdoor Photo is limited to 150/250kb if I recall?
    However, back to the image itself, you have done well with the restricted lighting here Ken, plus cuteness personified with that look and tongue lick! Just a slight blue tint on the white fur here on my cal monitor.

    Love this Ken, how lucky you were. Agree on the blue cast which should be easy to get rid of.

    Yet again I forgot to check my post for unusual things caused in conversion, sorry about that

    Here is a revised version hopefully sans blue cast.

    Better but I am still seeing some blue tint. If you didn't try desaturating blue and cyan.

    Ken - very lucky sighting and cute pose. I too am still seeing a bit of blue cast on the repost.

    TFS,

    super cute shot Ken!! pity about the incident but that person's account has been flagged and closed down on DeviantArt. like I said before - I can't imagine how such a person would feel when others compliment them on their "photos", but to try and SELL them...aaargh

    I also still see a hint of blue...
