What a beauty of animal!. You caught a great detail in the face. The background doesn't help a lot but this is what you had. It is always nice to see this cat, even in a zoo.

Good body pose here John. The two small catch lights in the eyes help a lot. It is the real pity IMO that the darker vertical band in the BG is right behind its head.

The leg posture is nice for the portrait orientation and you have good detail in the eyes and face. To me, the biggest nit is the broad black band behind the head.

What a beautiful animal - I think you captured its beauty well. I agree with the other comments...maybe a little cropping to minimize that dark strip? Anyway, I love it!
