A cheetah cub is about to take a swipe at it's sibling!
These were two (of 4) cheetah cubs now 7 weeks old that were sharing a play time session after dining on a baby wildebeest that mum had taken down earlier in the morning.

D4s 500 f/4VR 1/1600s f/9 ISO800 -.3EV.
Crop to portrait, bean bag from front pax seat, curves, levels, S/H + TK lumo masking to get the balance right. ACR, PS CC '14.

Ndutu/Serengeti, Northern Tanzania.

C & C most welcome

Cheers
Marc

Very cute Marc, you had some tough light to work with here, some fill flash would have helped there.

Thanks Nate

Yes it would have helped here, but not a fan of using it in wildlife photography.

DR on the D4s is much improved and has brought out more shadow detail here than what's shown on a limited 800px (longest side) image.

Marc, light is something we can't always control, but witnessing this moment and documenting it with this photograph is wonderful and thanks for sharing.
