Very nice image... the colours, sharpness and composition are just great…
Some like to criticize and accept criticism… Some like to criticize but don’t like to be criticized...
Beautiful nature shot. How close were you to your subject. These big cats are watching you. Also I curious of the location?
Great moment.
b.t.w. do you like the lense? { Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor } $$$ Is it worth the price?
Thanks,
Rick
The sunset colors are a wonderful back drop for your subjects. I like your use of fill flash, and composition. I would be tempted to fix the eye shine on the two facing cats, but that's personal preference. Well done.
Wow - this is super cool! I'm glad I noticed it. Congratulations on getting Photo of the Day and being featured on the Home page!
There's not much to criticize about this. But I do wish it had a bit more punch. If it were my photo I'd add some contrast and saturation. It's just a little flat and I wish the sunset had a bit more oomph. It's totally doable in Photoshop and if I were printing it in the darkroom, I'd probably lighten the cats a bit and darken the sky to accomplish the same thing.
Thanx for the kind comments.
Perhaps I'll play around in PS and come up with something different looking to post.
This shot was taken in Kruger National Park, South Africa.
The cats were were pretty close as I'm using a 70 mm focal length here!
The Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor is really amazing
and worth every cent if it doesn't break your wallet.
