    Very nice. Continuing my tales of failure from my trip there this summer.. I was excited about my plan to go to the zoo, I had dedicated a whole day to it because the only other times I'd been there I didn't have any decent longer lens. I was planning to practically reshoot everything with my good glass, cheetahs included. In the end, by the time I passed by the cheetah area I was so beat that I walked right past it.

    The last time I'd been there I think it was winter, and I'd had the unique opportunity to shoot pictures of cheetah cubs playing in the snow. Seriously, they seemed to not only tolerate it but enjoy playing in it. But that was with the kit lens, a max of 55mm and not outrageously sharp at that.

    I find myself enjoying the one with the two cheetahs lying down. The last one is nice for the fur detail and the dramatic pose, but the two resting animals look like they picked identical poses on purpose, that's really neat.
