Beautiful Poser
Uploaded: February 03, 2008
Just when I thought this shoot would be fruitless, the cheetah became a little anxious as her sister was led out by her trainer and looking back struck this pose. Just the one I wanted for this digital painting. I was so happy I just wanted to kiss that cat!

I would be happy also! This shot is very pretty and she couldn't have posed better for you! Good job :-) #5436489Donna La Mattino Pagakis February 05, 2008
What a beautiful creature, so well captured! #5449213Colleen Farrell February 10, 2008
Absolutely gorgeous--I can see why you were excited. Terrific capture and artwork! #5473805Drena Clementino February 11, 2008
Thanks Cheryl, Veronica, Donna, and Colleen for your comments. Cheryl, the background isn't stone, but the original backgound that was in the photo was a combination of grass and dirt. I smeared the pixels after desaturating, then used various tools and filters in PS. The texture you see is actually the grass in the photo cloned and painted over in layers. I merged the layers together when I liked the look. #5481323Jerzy E. Lasota April 09, 2008
