Hi Christain - how is it going.

I like both shots but particularly No 1. Great clarity. And those eyes.

This is the Tiger's turn.
Unfortunately photographed through mesh.
However we are fortunate to still be alive ...

Some nice photos steve #1 is great perhaps a little less exposure (less shadow/highlight adjustment perhaps?) needed and shallower depth of field to help isolate the cheetah more from background. Be interesting to see the effect using PP lens blur filter.
I tell you that's about as close as you'd ever want to get to a tiger and be seen as breakfast! :shock:
cheers
