Hi Sanjeev, I'm away so can't comment on colour, so will leave it for others.
I like the framing and great to see you using the 2x with good techs IMHO too. I also like the fact the cub is looking away from camera. Like the previous images I like the blown HL of the mane and I think with the angle of lighting it's always a tough call, but I would go with you, but others probably not. For me this is where 'artistic' overshadows techs and where you have to make decisions on what direction to take, the safe route, or being a little different. Although the dead tree is not ideal, somehow I feel it balances the whole image and framing. personally I might loose the whole blob on the LHS past the plant.
I very much like this one and I feel it has 'life' if that makes sense Sanjeev?

Hi Sanjeev this is waaaay hot !!!!!
Priceless good " catwalk " .....and the stunning low POV making this for me !!
By far the best you have posted recently for my eyes !!!
Lighting does look difficult to deal with , and you did quite well .
I am not really " happy" with tone and color , as the 3/4 are looking light and the mid tones somehow thin ?
I would try a different version with more tone in this areas ? just a thought , as the image has a Faux HDR character from the tonal aspect ?
But for sure still a great frame, i would just try a different version and see how it does look.

Sanjeev, I'm again reminded how envious I am of all your cheetah sightings, and this one is really wonderful. Others have already said it about the look slightly away from camera and the open mouth - which all add to this. Also happy with the backlit fur behind the head. Only thing I'd be tempted to do is select and lift the shadows on the cub a little.

Nice and sharp especially for a 1000mm. Like the composition and the low angle.

Thanks for the RP Rachel, certainly an improvement upon my OP, though a bit contrasty. Appreciate your help.
