First cheetah I've seen in the wild,(on 3rd African trip). Just awed by the experience.   

Nikon D500 with Tamron 150-600 G2 @ 340 handheld on car window ledge 
1/1000 sec, F6, ISO 220(Auto) 
Cropped about 50%.

What a wonderful sighting!  No doubt your heart skipped a beat or two.  :)

Great pose and lovely back lighting.

wow! a beautiful shot John. The light and details are to die for. ditto what Clement said. The Mara is a no brainer for Cheetah
Make your life spectacular!
