    Ken,
    Good depth of field. Could not find the EXIF details in the image so you have to check the RAW to know whether this is a 10D image. I would reduce the colour temperature a bit. Look forward to more.

    Cheers,
    Sabyasachi

    It looks great to me. Love the late light and the BKGR. Would love to have seen the far ear and the pupils.

    Great portrait, details, composition and BG. Seeing more of the eyes would have been great but I can't blame the cheetah, who likes to look into the sun? :)

    Very nice and sharp....the 100-400 isn't so bad, is it? I like the light/tone here a lot.....very warm, but looks great like that.

    Awesome lighting and a great subject. Hard to get more of the pupils, but that's about the only thing for me that would make this even better.
