| Great shot! One is hard enough to capture on film, let alone a whole family, and all except momma looking at the camera (or at least your general direction). |

| Great shot, family was the first thing I thought of when I saw this and I think the group's cohesiveness is expressed well. |

| Voted earlier coming back to leave comments now. Wow! Great capture of this moment in time when all the cubs are looking at our direction while the mother cheetah stands guard. You can definately say that this is a great family portrait of the cheetahs in the wild:-) This must have been an exciting sight to see real time! I do want to take a moment to point out one area that would make this great photo pop more visually. Contrasts are good in the shot but they could be better and little more dynamic. Boosting the contrasts levels a bit more could really make the cheetah family pop even more especially against the backdrop. |

(Voting completed - back to comment on random images)
Original vote = 6
This is a classic pose for a family of Cheetahs so the composition is bang on. Technically its flawed in as such not all the cats are in focus, the little fella at the bottom left is WAAAY out of the area of focus, so shooting with a smaller aperture would of been of benefit- they don't seem to be moving around too much so I am sure you could of afforded to lose a bit off shutter speed in exchange for a deeper DOF. Exposure and colours are good though. well done.
Revised vote = still a 6, well done! |

| if these animals are in the wild then their survival would definitely be touch and go .. with four young ones to care for mum would have her work cut out for her .. i love the way they all seem to intent and watchful .. brilliant shot .. :) |

| The perfectly posed family grouping. To get this shot without any distractions such as stray twigs and branches in the way is very impressive. this photo would look quite at home on the cover of BBC wildlife magazine. The only thing that stops this from getting a 10 from me is the placement of the horizon. |
