Getting out of the rain

This is another photo from my African trip last year. We came on this family of Cheetahs late in the day, just as it was starting to rain. You can see the rain drops in the image. Mom decided to get the family around to the other side of the tree to block them somewhat from the droplets. Thanks for looking

Nice family image, Mark! I would have loved the mother to look up, but its raining... The image looks a bit too yellow on my monitor. :wavey:

Mark,
I agree with Ellen, in particular regarding the yellow

I really like the look on the face of the youngster under her foot! My only wish might be to see mother's eyes a bit more. Hmmm, and maybe tone back on the warmth just a bit.

Nice moment ! Liked the rain drops in the BG. Might rotate the image a wee bit counter-clockwise.
And may be desaturate a tad bit...
