Huge cute factor, Gabriela. So much to like in this one. I really like the soft, pale pastel colours in the background and the framing of the foreground grass. I even like the grass stem in front of the cub in this instance - just seems to work in this case. Really nice detail on the cub where it matters around the head and front. Colours on the cub are quite subtle here. I'm assuming that's how this little one looked and that they don't develop more intense colouration until they are older? I love the pose and inquisitive look as well as the way you have framed this up in your composition. Look forward to seeing more...

Hi Gabriela - A huge cuteness factor here and the pose and expression seem to say "just you wait until I get big, strong and fast then I'll show you all." I like the ways the grasses frame the cheetah and the soft feel of the frame. No one else has mentioned it but there's a red cast to the cheetah that I would reduce if it were mine. Nothing wrong with keeping the pp basic and simple especially if things are done right in the field. Remember, often less is more.
TFS,
Rachel

Hi Gabriela, an enchanting capture and one of your best I feel. An excellent portrait of a cute cub. The POV, body angle and the environment framing this alert youngster just ticks all the boxes. Yes, there is a cast as Rachel mentioned, but all you need to do is tweak the Tint slider to the left which takes out the magenta tinge.
My PP work has become so basic these days it's embarrassing
You are getting distracted these days.

Yes, a very cute little one. I agree on the slight magenta cast to the fur ... Go into Photoshop (or wherever), open Hue-Saturation, go to the MAGENTA channel, and move the slider all the way to the right to 100%. If there is any MAGENTA there, it will be quit evident. Then you can simply move the slider to the left of zero to eliminate the color cast (if there is one).
One last question here, might this need a bit of CCW rotation? Not sure, just asking based on the position of the eyes ...
with much love, artie
