Hi Jon ... cool looking tusks , almost like they do belong to the lioness
.
I do like capture ... but think it is overdone on contrast / tone and the sharpness looks on the edge of being crunchy . Maybe you have used texture / clarity inn the process.
Colors are matter of taste ....
... I would expect the grasses , dead or alive , more on the yellow side . The lioness in shade I would expect less orange/red and the carcass is on the magnets side of red . All subjective ... just my thoughts.
I would prefer more below rather than on the top of the frame , comp does look a bit unbalanced to me.
Cool shot ... I would just go for a different approach in color and tone .
