Beautiful looking animal Ken. The habitat accentuates the Cheetah well. I agree with Grady on cropping out the blue sky as that really concentrates the look of the cat. Removing the others in the BG would remove tht one distraction that causes someone to think about what it is.
Very nice look back, but he should have been positioned in the right of the frame. Taking a few steps to your left would have accomplished this, plus avoided the merging with the one in the bg. I know this is not always possible, though.
Nice color, sharpness, pose, and habitat. Another vote for cropping out the sky. The BG animals, I could go either way on removing or not but with them and the sky gone, focus is totally on the cheetah and his concerned look back. Nice image.
Something more like this perhaps Ken?
Cropped sky out, canvas added LHS, Mum & cubs removed with a touch of saturation added.
Great "lookback" nontheless.
I have had a very frustrating day trying to sort out why I could not make Quick Mask work. Thanks to the kind help of others on this forum I have no managed to produce a revised version taking into account the above advice.
