Flame-of-the-Phoenix In reply to Kendrubbin [2009-08-25 15:21:06 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, my cats do that too! I didn't realize that cheetahs sat like that, since most of the time I see them with their legs stretched out.

Nice posing here and nice capture. Managed to get good texture and the quiet almost gentle nature in the face.
My only concern is the other cheetah that is laying down at its tail sort of draws the eye away from the image.

I do so love big cats in good photos tho

Thanks so much!

(and crap, you're right! >.< I tried cropping the other cheetah out, and it just made the image really small. :/ Oh well, hopefully next time it works better. ^^)
