Great big cat shots. I'd be tempted to warm up the colour temperature on the first one a little bit though.

Did you take them from on a bus or what? I can't remember how it works up at Monarto but I'm guessing they don't let you wander around in a field with those animals. :wink:

oli - the Cheetah shot was taken from the new raised observation deck, that was opened last Saturday, fantastic. The Lion shot was taken from the bus.

Cool. An observation deck certainly is a good idea. I might have to make a trip up there sometime.
