Chas, another wonderful image. Excellent light and pose. Just the right amount of space around the cheetah to give a feel for the environment.

[Steve Canuel]

Great color palette to this one. Also like the position of the shadow relative to the cheetah.

Yep, sweet early morning light, and the honey eye contact just puts this over the top.

Very simple but the layers of lovely colour and the nice, clear separation of the cheetah from the darker bushes (there is a darker line hitting the head but I don't find it annoying) make it great for me - and of course the beautiful eye colour. Beautiful.

[DanWalters]
