    awesome pose and eye contact !! BG to die for !!!! May I ask why you have not cropped slightly and rotated clockwise to balance the portrait ?

    Good point Andrew
    Can't remember if this was a head turn/body lean or not level?
    How's this?

    Awesome smooth BG and the Cheetah stands out so nicely...Like the second post, prefer the less room on top. Great eye contact and detail...Nice one Marc

    Marc - great portrait. The eye contact takes this to another level. Repost works well, I never remember to level portraits.

    TFS,

    Very nicely detailed and colored portrait. Especially like the visible colored marbling of the eyes.

    gorgeous portrait and love the stare here Marc...gotta love it when you nail the colour in the eyes

    I quite liked the OP crop - with the body "straight" and the head slightly cocked (inquisitive cat style ).
    Impressive techs yet again from that D3s at ISO-1600.

    stunning image, like the repost, possibly still space to crop a little off the top and the right, but thats just personal taste
