Last cheetah image. Les, do you see what I mean about the background. This time I put a tree behind the subjects to cut down the back lighting. Again, I used the lens, teleconverter and DX crop to fill the frame with the subjects and reduce the amount of back lighting. I also did some cropping as the white background is too distracting to the eye. The FStop is F13 to bring both subjects into focus. I put the focus box on the face of the cub.

How my this is the best one in my opinion. Garrett, a fave for me, so sharp, and clear, and I'm not distracted by anything. My eyes were drawn to the mother and cub right from the start. tigs♠

The mum seems to be focused intently on you, Garrett. They are such beautiful animals, and this shot makes them look like they are in the wild. Beautiful work.

You definitely accomplished your goal, Garrett.
As my wise young grandson once explained about why he thought the photo was good: "I like the way it looks."

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

You caught the textures and color of their fur in a wonderfully sharp image. They're a happy-looking little family!
