So this is to just further the debate about zoo pics. This pic is taken specifically for fun! As you will all discover I'm the most amateur of the lot. That reflection in the cheetah's eye is me on my haunches taking it's portrait.
But I also get embarrassed when I have to explain that it was a cheetah in captivity and I'm not really stalking this creature. Though my American clients always believe the story I tell before I admit the truth! Ha ha! Even for an amateur there is that guilt feeling when it's not the 'huntitdownwaitforhoursinthebush' wildlife photography.

I think this is a pretty cool shot. I would crop out the blue sky in the top corners and use PS to lighten the eye as much as you can. I guess it could have used a bit of fill flash, but thay may have spooked it!

Mandy this is a cool image! I agree with Neil about the cropping in a bit. It's really an excellent image...and really at the same standard as any stock image that you would find on gallo or alamy. To lighten up around the eye try a little fill light using Adobe Camera Raw...it simulates the use of a fill-in flash

Thanks Neil and Emil. That's great.
