Hi Gabriela -- you really were contemplating to discard this one ! Either you have far better frames this one or you often make such images .
I simply loved this. Cracking POV and the expression is priceless. no problems with the surroundings as well perfectly goes with the subject. I only feel a bit more sharpening on its face will make this even more appealing . I loved this image , Thanks for posting it and not dumping it.
Lets see what others have to say.

Thank you very much for your kind words, Haseeb.
I did contemplate dumping this frame a number of times. Don't think I put much thought into techs at the time - was rushing to get out of the cheetah's way and thought it fair to give a chance to the poor Steenbok to get away.
The other night I found a a number of versions of this image where I dealt with the BG in various ways, dumped most of them and kept what I thought was the better one. Dropped exposure a bit and also contrast on the FG, it was too bright. I think the cheetah's face could be a tad brighter, especially the whites. I'll play around some more, I feel it hasn't got enough "pop" for my taste
Kind regards,

Hi Gabriela, the expression on the face and the stalking pose is lovely. Another round of sharpening on face and slight exposure adjustments will do good. I am glad you posted this and not dump it. I certainly enjoyed viewing it. The intensity of stare is something!

Nice view of this cheetah. Like the low anlge and the stalking pose. The details look nice as well. Focus is right where it should be.

Love the composition but I feel detail could possibly be enhanced, I think it is a great image and is worthy of another look-see. Glad you didn't dump it, lets see another!

Thank you Andreas, much appreciated Boetie. I will do so, but for now I shall ask that you look into those two files I sent you tonight, they are on the way but my internet is slow - see what you think of them, they have sentimental value as I have known the subjects for some time

Hi Gabriela, like the low POV and the framing being off centre. I think your DoF here was a little short.
BTW have you updated the latest LR, nice new feature, but be careful, like Clarity tread carefully, folk who really don't understand it will find things a bit too crunchy and over sharp!!! Launch LR via the App otherwise you may fine it doesn't work.

Updated LR the other night, all working nicely. And yes I saw it...I'll be careful
Great and remember, it works Globally or as an adjustment, but those three sliders work great when you toggle between them, for once Adobe has added a nice feature, glad it's all working.
