Welcome.
Although a touch tight for me, I like the comp with the tree trunk on the right. Also like the warm color and light.

Welcome to BPN
i am also just fresh on this forum.You will learn a lot if you want to.All the guys are really nice and most of the times very helpful,so keep posting images and post your thoughts about other images.
Like your opener ,in terms of comp,colors,nice smooth BG,detail but would,as Steve suggested, another round of sharpening on your main subject.

Thanks for your comments and constructive crits all. steve, I will resharpen, actually forgot to sharpen for web sizing when I exported. Wish I had more space below, was the first thing I noticed as I downloaded! I have cropped a slight bit from top, and right, mostly to balance out the slightly close crop on the bottom edge. Otherwise Morkel, yes, composed virtually as is, I would say 90% of original. Would have liked to reverse a bit before taking the shot, but these moments don't last long :)
The thing I liked most was the framing between the branches, a clean BG and finally some great light on a cheetah which I have struggled for! A challenge to get any catchlight in their eyes!
Thanks also for the welcomes everyone, look forward to posting and sharing with you all! (Thanks Morkel for the invite :) )
Repost follows after sharpening for web, slight crop etc as suggested:

Now that's much better Laura, and has taken it to where it needs to be.

Laura,
Welcome, a great image to start with, and to think some people still like to tell you that Cheetahs do not climb trees!

Big welcome to the Wildlife part of the Forum
Awesome image to start with and looking forward to see many more

Looks pretty good on your last repost Laura, good work with this. If it were mine, I would still crop a fraction off the top and rhs, just enough to get rid of that small bright patch of sunlit bark in the top right corner of the frame. I hear what the others are saying about space, but I do find that little bright patch distracting...
Good shot to begin with.
cheers

You have a well trained eye Grant! Thanks for your input, tend to agree on that patch, thanks!
