Ken,
very nice eyes and the image is also fine. I would consider to add a bit of contrast to let it look more vivid.

The eyes and the head turn make this special, Ken. Nice work.

The subdued light has allowed you to capture the colour of the cheetah's eyes nicely. The low contrast image is quite pleasing in the large version although the smaller version does look rather dull. The deep set eyes of the cheetah make it difficult to capture anything but very dark or black eyes in bright sun and your choice of late day soft light has made this excellent image possible. Well done.
