Nice capture indeed, however I do find the light, for me, seems a little flat possibly because the animal is in shade? I tried to have a quick play in PS and by reducing the blue tones a little, a very slight increase in the red and touch more USM it's a slightly warmer and 'punchy' image..

Kind regards,

Brett

Ps. I also agree that a B&W version also looks really good..

I think this shot looks great B&W and cropped to landscape.
Nice capture.

Works for me. The eye certainly stands out.

A well seen and a well taken oppurtunity. I can't offer any suggestions for improvement as it works very well for me as it is.
