Cheetah on a Tree Trunk

Images of the young ones are always special no matter what the species is . . . In this case one of two Cheetah siblings posing on a dead tree trunk in the Mara North Conservancy while hosting a photographic safari.

Great capture! Perfect pose, background and perch. No nits here.

Mario, it's a very nice combination of subject, the textured log and the clean background. I think you got just enough head turn to ensure some catch light in the eyes too. Lovely photo.

sweet shot of this little one.
Great pose, nice "perch", beautiful face and eyes, and fine detail.
There seems to be possibly some leftover cloning artifacts above the end of it's tail?
Really fine image!

Hi Mario,

Yes, young animal shots are always special. I like the simplicity of this shot...that always works for me. Very clean - nicely done.

Cheers...
