You at the back wake up or is it hunting time again?

Nice head on image of a beautiful cat Ken. If mine I would take a bit off the lhs and ad a bit to the rhs taking them off center a bit more using the direction the cheetah is looking (even though it is slight). Nice colors and techs. Well done.

Todd,

Thanks for that.

Cropping is always difficult. In this case mine was driven by the desire to include the tail of the OOF Cheetah, why I do not know.

Very nice - especially the image in the back that you included - ditto on the crop -

[Morkel Erasmus]

I like this Ken - and I agree on keeping the tail of the OOF cheetah at the back in the shot.
might tone down overall brightness just a wee bit?

[Steve Canuel]

I like Ken's suggestion on the crop, just a little off the right (as viewed). Also like how you got the two lined up vertically. Guess some cheetahs are more motivated than others.

[Rachel Hollander]

Ken - I like the juxtaposition here of the cheetah on the move with the yawning one. Well spotted and composed.

TFS,
Rachel

Thanks for your kind comments

I am now confused about the crop suggestions, I think that on balance a little from the RHS is needed?

I must confess that I was concentrating on the walking Cheetah, the one in the BG was a bonus.

This image made me smile. Excellent title.
