Sth Luangwa Nat Park - Zambia.
After nearly an hour with these 3, this was as close I got to getting all three's attention.
A few nits are the cut off paw and the sticks in FG, which I think may be quite difficult to clone out successfully?
It is a great pity you could not move a little more left, those eyes are ridiculously big. I think you should try cloning out the larger twigs over the body and see what you come up with.
I am OK with the clipped paw. JC's repost is an improvement but the cloning is evident in the dirt on front of the animal where the stalks were removed. About two hours work while working large (as Fabs suggested) with the Clone Stamp, the Patch Tool, and some QMs would do the trick. Robert O'Toole could do it a lot more quickly (and better) than most. He does offer an image optimization service. IAC, a pretty sweet image and an amazing experience. You did well with the head positions.

I agree entirely with Art, this image is worthy of a lot of work to make a substantial improvement. Luckily Markd hassought assistance from the right source!
