A close up of the Cheetah on a mound late in the evening. Hope the WB is better here. This is a minor crop for comp. I cropped in from the left & below a bit.

Hi Sanjeev - Colors do look better but you were there - does it look right to you? The cheetah was in the shade so I would expect the cool tones but I think it can be a little warmer looking at the whites on the chin (this is +2 in temp and -5 in tint). I also reduced the blues in the blacks and tried to bring out a little more detail on the nose.
I also meant to ask if this is ff. I again find the comp a little awkward with the paws and legs. I would be tempted to go tighter but be careful not to pixel bash.
TFS,
Rachel

Nice cheetah portrait love the pattern of the face and the eyes.
Beautiful Cheetah, Sanjeev. Such a treasure. I think Rachel's edit and repost is better, the color and contrast improve the image. Thank you for sharing.
