    Oh Gina, Cheetas are my favorite! I like seeing them in their habitat rather than at the zoo. I don't even mind the merging since it makes you want to study the image more and illustrates their camouflage. I would have liked to see a darker background and more detail/contrast in their coats. There are a couple of overexposed white areas. You have great eye contact and head angle, especially on the one on the left.

    do you have any more images of cheetas? would love to see them! thanks for posting this.

    Hi Gina

    Its a privilege to photograph these animals !!! Would like to see a different placement for the second cat just looks odd as presented You did well with the exposure, might clone texture into the hot area by the breast. Also a direct look by the standing cat would have been great !!! I like t !!!

    Hi Gina,
    I tried to done the highlights on the cheetah on the right, it looked OK in PS. Hope it works on the post.
    Beautiful animals. Just used the paint brush and selected colours from underneath the neck and then took white and tried to put it on the edge to simulate the highlight on the edge.
