Once again a beautiful "painting"... I must say you have a talented eye taste to convert (not on purpose I realize) photographs into black and white paintings. This one reminds me Ralph Thompson, a remarkable traditional illustrator. Congratulations.

I don't normally look at wildlife shots, but this photo leapt of theage at me. The composition is superb, you have caught the grace and beauty of the subjects to perfection. You can sense their speed and power, and know its only a matter of time before the hunt begins. The conversion to mono is superbly done and for me makes the photo. Truely excellent work. Simon

I love cheetahs! This is very cool.
I wish more people realized that cheetahs are more endangered than tigers.

Nice work
It almost looks like a drawing. It's a nice effect
Good shot too. Lovely focus on the faces

It's the first time I have seen wild animals done in high key. Great vision and execution. This shot really stands out!

Absolutely great shot... The signature is really distracting to me though... I would rather see this at a smaller size or with a watermark than at this size with the huge signature included.

Thanks...I have a standard workflow for my signature watermarking and don't have time to adjust it for every single image...so will leave it as is for now

Beautiful, artistically composed shot. Works wonderfully in monochrome and the way the grass blends into the sky and mingles with the spots is just perfect! Also loving the tilted line the changing grass heights cuts across the centre of the image
