Cheetah portrait

By AnnChown  
Murphy the cheetah taken at the WHF. Thanks for looking in and for your time - comments and criticisms are, as usual, welcome.
Many thanks for your comments on For Sale - I enjoyed reading them, but special thanks are due to Hermanus for his precious UA.

Fantastic quality and such a good expression while still holding the point of focus, not as easy with the extender added to the lens.
