And yet another stock photo.
nice... but seen before. Not as exciting as it could have been!
I think you should try a b&w version. Might get more out of this photo.

My favourite animal. Pity that the cubs' faces are not visible. Maputaland - now there's an idea for a holiday. Pity that it is such a long drive from Cape Town.

Lovely capture of the cheetah family. Their spots are such a nice rounding effect amidst the lines of the grass and twigs in the foreground. Great DOF. The green of the grass is a nice addition to the otherwise warm color pallette.
