Detail looks very nice, especially in the eye reflectivity. On my monitor the hues of the grass seem slightly off, so perhaps some tweaking of white balance might enhance overall effect.

Lon,

Thanks for your comment, I toned down the green but now think I overdid it. The green was really deep and dark, as it was naturally, but I find that many people do not realise that greens can be really green in Africa especially after good rains.

I like this one much better than your previous lion post Ken. The low angle has a lot to do with that. I agree on the remark made by Lon on the greens. Further I would probably brighten the entire image just a tad.
