Very well captured. I like the comp and the fact that you can see the eyes. Not an easy task getting a cheetah coming at you. Is this full frame or cropped?

Way to get him in mid-stride.

The intense stare and mid-stride capture are terrific!

Wait a minute, a 10D can't track a moving cheetah! It must be true; everyone in the forums says so. :? I'm being facetious here. You should sell this image to Canon to advertise AI SERVO with. :)

Great angle, great shot!

This is pretty amazing! How did you ever get an in-focus face with it running towards the camera or are you backing away? Wow.
