In all honesty, that's not a bad finish for an image you thought may offend some. Just goes to show that a lot of folk thought it was pretty cool. 125 votes of 5 and above, compared to only 32 of 4 and below. Nice going :)

I gave this a 7 and saw in it what it seems you did (after reading your comments). Difficult to leave the comment I want without puns, but .. the muscle definition in his body is amazing and well captured, coupled with the shadows over his body and the movement of his tail and the general intensity. Well done for obviously an isolated location where you didn't have much time to 'set up'.

I suspect this was taken in less than ideal lighting.

That's pretty unique mask and a processing to match it. The leaves and eyes play together nicely.
