Good shot of this lioness but there are some things that can be done to turn this into a great shot. Nice detail in the visible eye. First off, the photo is a tad overexposed such that there is loss of detail in the body and bottom jaw has very little outline that it blends into the body. Some PP of shadows/highlight/midtones and some brightness/contrast can help in that area. Topaz Adjust is another program that can help but be careful with the pre-sets because it is easy to overdo the processing such that it 'looks' topazed. Also a crop closer to just include the head and neck would bring us closer to the lady of the savanna - show her off bring us closer. Having the body with partial chest and partial leg visible only makes the photo feel chopped and incomplete. Play up the strengths you have with the strong detail in the head - make it strong portrait of this lioness.
