Very nice tight portrait of the cheetah. I would like to see the BG less busy.. You could have accomplished this shooting the 500mm wide open or perhaps by doing some PP magic...

Ken,
I agree that a shallow depth of field would have been better for the bg. You have got it sharp. good one.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

I like the eyes on this one. The just slightly visible pupils stand out to me.

[Ed Cordes]

Nice and tight with good eyes. The image seems to have compression defects as I can see vertical banding almost like print heads that need cleaning.

Nice composition Ken. Could do with touch of selective USM.

Cheers
