Those of you who know my Photoshop work assume, I'm sure, that this is a digital composite. It is not. One one of my photo tours to Namibia, my group stayed at a lodge with a beautiful African motif in the lobby area. The owner had raised a cheetah in her home from a cub (it was a rescue), and the cat was quite used to people. It even purred when we pet it. I asked if she could coax the cheetah to pose for my group on the sofa, and she said sure. We used daylight from large windows, and my settings were 1/125, f/7.1, 640 ISO, and I used a 24-105mm lens.
