I like the pose. Maybe a bit tight especially on the left. Would also slightly reduce the yellow/orange effect.

Most definitely Harshad ...................it hasn't taken you long to become another addict!
I think this would benefit by having some room all round here Harshad, I know the light is gorgeous here, but I'd be tempted to tone down the yellow somewhat here as well.
How's this:

Lovely image , Harshad . Agree with some more room in the compo . But the colours seem to play some prank here . When I downloaded it on to my comp ., it shows more red than yellow . Something to do with the browser ???

Hi Harshad, I would suggest reverting back more to a 3x2 format (800 x 600 a ltlle more on the depth though) this then balances out IMHO the space both left and at the top, but reduces the space to the RHS which I feel is a little too much, but cropping is subjective. A classic pose and I like the HA, however, given your last posting which has a nice clarity, sharpness, and depth of colour and tone, an excellent image, the light does look quite harsh here and it lacks detail within the main subject, especially the head, so I'm rather confused??? Is it the swop from the D3 to the 300 on this occasion? Welcome your thoughts.

TFS

Great image, i think the colour works for me as is if you reduce the yellows you have to reduce the oranges / reds too. Agree with Steve although the image is great it lacks your usual sharpness

[Dumay de Boulle]

I like it a lot...Another vote for more space on the left and a little less yellow. What a great image!

[Harshad Barve]

Thanks everyone ,
I guess I better not to do PP on my new laptop , will repost it soon by processing it on desktop , but will take some time

[Robert Amoruso]

Harshad,

Excellent pose and light. I agree on the saturation but like how you tucked the cheetah into the corner and have the strong diagonal of its body coming from the corner.

[Marina Scarr]

Absolutely killer light and pose here. I like the placement of the cat, but would prefer just a tad of space on left and top.

[Stan Cunningham]

I'm in the minority as I like the crop, but agree with the color effects of too yellow. GREAT shot though, and I'd never post from my HP laptop, no idea what the real color would be.

[Rachel Hollander]

Harshad - great pose, but I agree with the others on a tad more room on left and on the colors. Looks like it was a good trip.

TFS,
Rachel

[Morkel Erasmus]

Sweet light and cat here Bhai...I love the OP composition, and agree on toning down yellow/orange saturation a tad.
Might also recover some detail from the nose?

[Roman Kurywczak]

Hey Harshad,
Good advice above on the room and color....but minor tweaks to a very nice image!

[DanWalters]

Beautiful light and nice clean background. Like the repost with a little less yellow.

[Kurt Bowman]

Ditto the other comments about the yellows and the room on the left, but the light and head turn is awesome! Should be an easy fix and looking forward to seeing the re-post.

Harshadbhai, super pose, and just love the honey eyes. I like the placement of the cheetah in the frame, and the BG is a killer. ( the only cat I didnt see on my recent trip to Botswana )
