I haven't been to Africa (yet) so my Cheetahs are from a wild animal park. This is a film image from a few years back.

A very nice Cheetah pair. I end up spending a fair amt of time at zoos also... its a good place to practice between trips. I wonder in PS if you could selectively dodge the subjects to bring them up a little. Because the background is lighter then the foreground my eye keeps drifting back there. Its a very relaxing picture of the two of them resting in the grass. Thanks for posting in Wildlife.

Nice relaxed pose. I agree with Dennis that the lighter BG is distracting and the image would be stronger if you could darken the BG and brighten up the cheetahs a bit more.

A very intimate image. I second the comments regarding the BG.
