    Very nice tight portrait of the cheetah. I would like to see the BG less busy.. You could have accomplished this shooting the 500mm wide open or perhaps by doing some PP magic...

    Ken,
    I agree that a shallow depth of field would have been better for the bg. You have got it sharp. good one.

    Cheers,

    I like the eyes on this one. The just slightly visible pupils stand out to me.

    Nice and tight with good eyes. The image seems to have compression defects as I can see vertical banding almost like print heads that need cleaning.

    Nice composition Ken. Could do with touch of selective USM.

    Cheers
