The shallow DOF is perfect, Focus sharp. Good choice to give the cheetah room to roam on the left side, but I wonder whether the photo might be just the tiniest bit less static if some were shaved off the right side.

It's a little on the bright side. Perhaps toning it down a bit by Burning or adjusting the brightness would make this easier on the eyes

A shot like this, I hope you were in the car with a long telephoto! :)

I wish the background was a bit darker to give more contrast to the cheetah.

This seems a bit blanched out due to lighting. I like his detailing and your stop motion capture. I'd up the contrast a smidge as well as work on the lightness and you'd have a real winner.

the colors seem washed out.

might benefit from more sharpness to the face, more contrast and saturation....other than that, very nice.
