This cheetah struck an unusual pose on an early morning shoot.

Great pose, Richard. To my eye, the sky seems to have just the faintest pink blush-you might see if you can accentuate that. I think the cheetah could use a touch more sharpening and maybe a touch of highlighting-it looks a bit flat.

Great setting and wonderful pose ! Like Dennis, I too find color in the sky, which can be recovered and you can reduce the blacks a bit.  
IMHO it can be presented in a much better way.
