This is about 11 x 7, on Hahnemühle Collection, 140 CP. As usual, I fiddled for hours (yeah, hours) with the features. The only reason I completed it was that my husband was very encouraging.

Thanks for the kind words - it is very over worked in person, excepting the BG.
 
Yes, that intense stare is perfect! Wonderful piece and wonderful husband to keep encouraging you.
 
Omg I didn't know you had just posted a cheetah too! lol, I just posted one myself.

This is beautiful! Love the wash of colors in the background and the cheetah's expression.
 
Amazing job with those eyes! For all your fiddling, you never fail to pull these off. Beautiful job. (Thanks to your hubby!) ;)

Lovely! I like the colors and the softness of the spots.

I love cheetahs. They're such beautiful, graceful animals. I had the opportunity just recently to see two in-person. I'd only seen one once before, but I was a little kid at the time so barely remember it outside of a photograph my mum had taken (it's still up on her photo wall!) They were in a zoo and not the wild, but thankfully they had quite a large enclosure. They were both quite active that day too, and kept walking up close to us, just on the other side of the river between us. They were so beautiful. :)
