    Mini Competition #109

    Here's how it works ...

    - You good folks post images in the thread (please change your post title to a name for your picture)

    - When we get 10 images we will attach a voting poll

    - After 3 days the poll closes and the winner is declared!

    - If you would especially like some critique after the competition poll closes, please make it known in the post

    Too easy eh?

    Limit of 1 image per post, and 2 image posts per person.

    If there are already 10 in the current comp, please start a new thread in this forum

    Cheers,

    King Cheetah

    Just back from a couple of weeks away and I was at a zoo checking up on some new cheetah cubs I had heard about. There are 4 cubs and 2 are what they term “King Cheetahs”; very rare in deed. These have strips or blotches rather than spots. This occurs in the wild occasionally but is more likely when both parents carry the same regressive gene.

    Well caught, Mike. I like the lance in mid-air. You seem to have caught everything just at the right moment.

    No it's not. I just used a plumbers wrench and yanked it 180 degrees.

    Re: Mini Competition #109

    Gareth. You asked for comments on your Wedding Bouquet photo.

    Getting zero votes doesn't mean you had a bad photo. In fact I quite like the idea although I find it somewhat sad. At the end of the bride's big day, the bouquet which was once carried with pride is just tossed to one side and forgotten.

    At least that is what the rather sombre lighting and crushed bottom petals say to me. But I often let my imagination run free with some photos!

    But whatever the intention, that is a difficult subject to get absolutely perfect. I would suggest that it really needs some very careful lighting to bring out a bit more contrast, but that really needs some specialist equipment which isn't available to everybody. Which is one of the reasons why I keep clear of this type of shot (shortage of talent is the other reason).
