Snow Leopard Cubs (Melbourne Zoo)

Very happy with how they turned out.

Very nice photos! My favourite is the 2nd one, like how he's sort of peeking over the log.

Very happy with how they turned out.

I would be too; these are all very good images.

I love the third, but I think that the two subjects also create a bit of an issue for me in the viewing of this image: which of them is the primary subject? While this is obviously the one to our right, had you pulled the aperture a little wider, you might have been able to soften the other one a little, thus helping with providing a more obvious primary subject.

Contrast that with the fourth image, where there is a clearly defined primary subject, echoed by a slightly OOF secondary one in the background. Beautiful!

Yep I see what you mean, but max aperture so I am slave to the lens, hehehe. Would have been interesting to use
an F2.8 lens but I think all the shots were taken at 400mm so would it have been too short? I'm not sure, but probably for most of them, yes.

There were so many photographers taking photos at the same time that I wish I could see how THEY interpreted the same scene!

All in all very happy though, I got so many shots I liked it will take me a while to sort through them. And here I was complaining I hadn't seen the cubs yet.

Thanks for your comments.

Bloody beautiful, although looks a tad darkish which kind of suits the shots and well #1 and #3 i like the most and well they are just great, done well.

Cheers
