Wow! This one turned out GREAT!
You can FEEL the intensity of the cheetah's stare as he's slowly stalking his prey. Look at the shoulders -- you can see those slow, long strides he takes while sneaking up on his victim, just before he pounces!
This one's a real winner, Jennifer! Nicely done!
Thank you, Ted! Those are the nicest compliments!
