Hi everyone, here's a lioness yawning in Etosha National Park, Namibia taken last summer. I cropped a little from the top and the right side. I was trying to get some of the grasses in focus too so I added a bit more depth of field.

I like the feeling of camouflage you're getting with the tonal range being similar with lion and grass, however I feel the overall effect is 'muddy'. Therefore, I would agree with Dan that a bit more contrast would be an advantage.
Nice to see someone visiting Etosha, one of the world's greatest wildlife viewing areas.
I am not to sure about this but I think I understand what you were trying to acieve.
I like the comp you chose. Repost improves it. Would personally like a little clearer view of the bottom teeth. Anybody else unexpectedly yawn when they viewed this :D?
