Sanjeev that is a lovely pose and really lends itself to a B&W conversion. A pity about the missing feet though, but I would still be pretty pleased if th shot was mine.

Hi Sanjeev - This works really well. Regal stance with clean bg and I like the position in frame. You handled what looks like harsh light nicely with the conversion. Nice one.

TFS,

Sanjeev, nice to see another conversion from you of one of your cats! I wondered if this one works best as a conversion though. Without seeing the original, hard to say. The high contrast in your conversion makes the cheetah look a little 'ghostly' to me although the tones appear to be a good reflection of what such a conversion should look like. Nevertheless, this might be a case where less contrast could produce a more effective conversion? Hard to say for sure without trying a few different things. Do you do any other versions of this that you are willing to share?

Hi Sanjeev a really nice clean Cheetah shot with very good separation from the BG making the subject stand out nicely.
I bet this would work better in color .
As posted it is not grabbing me ....very much tone in tone from my POV .
The lion did look way better IMHO.
