These two have been around for quite a while, sometimes you see them sometimes you don't, this time we were lucky.
I used the A9 as an experiment with the 16:9 ratio  selected, I think it worked quite well.

Nice.  I like the way one is using the other as a footrest.

Ken: The ratio works well and it's good to see the yellows of the cheetahs juxtaposed against the greenery. I particularly like the relaxed pose and the direct eye contact of the one cheetah. Richard

I agree with the other comments but add that I like that we can see the tips of their tails.

I enjoy the warm colors, the location near the termite mound and the unusual interactive pose.

Gorgeous Ken. Another great cat shot. They do somehow look like brothers who like to mess with each other by putting their legs over the other one and that kind of thing.
