Portrait of a Cheetah
This is the Cheetah mum to two 11 mth old boys, just prior to a successful snack on a baby tommie. I left a little more spacing above for a reason.
D3s 500VR +1.4tc 1/1000s ISO1600@f/7. Cropped to vertical. Masai Mara Oct 2010
C & C most welcome
Cheers

Marc,
Very nice indeed I always prefer a slight lookaway, rather than the direct stare liked by some.
What time of day was this?
To my eyes this looks slightly oversharpened, but nothing to worry about, as what appears sharp to me is often soft to others
Lovely portrait Marc. I tend to agree that it looks slightly oversharpened but not by much. Great background and she is one elegant lady.
Sharpness is perfect IMO. Great pose, expression and background all coming together for a great looking image.
Marc - very nice portrait with pleasing bg. I like the pose and stare.
TFS,
Rachel
sharpness looks fine to me! lovely portrait Marc...
would the "reason" be a magazine cover page???
Definitely a potential very sharp magazine cover!!
I think you nailed it on the techs and the processing.
Cheers, Jay

"Nature Interpreted" - Photography begins with your mind and eyes, and ends with an image representing your vision and your reality of the captured scene; photography exceeds the camera sensor's limitations. Capturing and Processing landscapes and seascapes allows me to express my vision and reality of Nature.
Beauty of a portrait Marc. Crisp, clear, and great colors.
Excellent image quality. Sharp as a tack, great BG, very pleasing.
