Nicely processed for my taste. I like the look toward the viewer, the contours of the termite mound, and the color of the grass and sky BG.

Hi Marc - very nice inquisitive pose with strong eye contact. Comp works with lion slightly off-center. Good detail and sharpness. If it were mine I would reduce the yellow on the termite mound. It just makes the lion pop a little more.

That's a particular aspect I like, it's the soft early glow of sunrise, and stays for mine. All subjective of course. 
I'd be interested to know what other's think on the colour?

Aww Marc, I like this a lot!
First of all, great IQ at ISO 6400 - I know the camera can take a lot more, but just happy to see the results here:)
Like the placement of the "young and naughty one" in the frame, Dale's version also works well for me. Great POV and that eye contact really adds to this image, well exposed and colours look natural IMO, really curious to know what this cub was up to and whether he investigated this termite mound further...
This image makes me wonder what happened next...have you more on this sighting?
Kind regards,

Amazing pose and I love the 2 tone BG. I think Andreas has nailed the colours in my opinion. His pops for me.

Hi Marc
Wonderful opportunity and very effective POV.
Love the eye contact, and the "what's next" look.
Prefer the horizontal crop for inclusion of more "habitat"
Colour for me is somewhere between OP and Andreas's RP.
Love it!

Hi Marc , This is a super image , the IQ is top notch i liked Andreas RP and since u have cropped then u might also be having some space on the left side of the viewer , if yes then u can use it to make the dominant eye a bit to the center of the frame .

Love the pose and stare here mate.
I quite like the punch in Andreas' version - Dale's vertical is also an option but I am fine with your OP crop choice.
