Vikram,
Now this is a remarkably good pose, and the best bit is you have the full eyes. :cheers::cheers:
I am not to sure whether the background Cheetah works and I might be tempted to remove it if you find that sort of thing acceptable.
Vikram,
Techs are perfect. Nice work for 1/60 s. Love the soft lighting, the 'perch', eye contact and the colors. I do find the BG Cheetah a bit of a distraction.
Here's what I did to your lovely image:
1. Sharpened the subject and the mound
2. Brightened the torso + eyes
Kiran,
Very nice repost, there is certainly a lot more oomph!
Vikram,great image,nice pose,sharp,agree on the BG cheetah being removed,but still a magic image.welldone.
Prefer the OP, the colors look better I would only dodge the eye of the op to enhance...Very nice pose and eye contact
Thanks Ken, Dumay, Christopher for the appreciation of this image.
Kiran a big thank you for the magical touch you have given to this image. Lot of light can be seen in both the eyes especially the left one after your processing also good light on torso.
There is a lot to learn from all of you.
Thanks once again.
IMO, splitting the difference between the original post and the repost would work best. It would add pop but still look "low light" natural.
The OOF cat does not bother me at all, juxtapositionish:w3, however more room at the bottom would put this over the top.
Thanks
That is a gorgeous photo, and I like the oof cheetah in the background. We're all different in our tastes and as was pointed out, the techs are perfect.
Kiran is a magic man, and like his repost and what he did with the eyes as you already mentioned.
Vikram, very nice posture and eye contact captured. I also liked the original and if it were mine I'd have left it at that. Because that's more like seeing with the eyes.
Nice, clean BG and the FG touches of the rock, grasses, and bushes provide a anchoring sense of depth.
The repost is a killer !!
Lovely pose captured here Vikram! Kiran's repost, specifically pertaining to the eyes, takes it to another level...:t3
I don't mind the OOF cheetah in the BG but wish it was "higher" in the frame as it looks strange being so low relative to the cheetah on the mound.
Lovely image Vikram , liked the re-post by Kiran here
TFS
Attached here is another image of the same female Cheetah without the cub in the frame.
