Mark, I like all the things you have mentioned. The raised paw is the icing on the cake in this image. I'll let others comment on IQ and any improvements which may be made as I am having all sorts of problems with my IQ at present.

Mark, that's a super pose. Without you saying anything we suspect what's going on. The framing of his head with bokeh and his body and feet with the grasses really make this a portrait that he's going to want to show his mate. I wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for the long, persistant wait.

Mark - it's a good wet look and he looks hungry. Like the alert pose and raised paw. The fg environment works well though I might prefer a tad more space below. Well done.
TFS,
Rachel

Thant raised front leg makes this image! You have just proved that one does not need great weather to make a great image!

Hi Mark, I also agree the alert pose brings a nice touch to the image. Still away so viewing on laptop, but first impression colour IQ looks OK and the eyes look right, not brightened. I like as presented, but also you could also try a slightly tighter crop too. might emphasis that pose/stare?

Mark, this image is perfect for me at least. The stare, the raised paw, the wet fur all things just perfect ingredients for this image........
Hats Off.......

Great pose and I also like the BG tree line. Eyes seem a little redder/browner and darker than most cheetahs posted on here (not a criticism, just an observation). Perhaps due to conditions?

Very much so Steve, sometimes they can be over worked, but this looks were natural and in keeping with the conditions IMHO.

Love the pose and the wet look here, Mark...eyes look perfect for the conditions described. I would be tempted to take some off the top??
