I really like the image, but don't care so much for the title. I would suggest trying out a few vignettes of various degrees to see if any enhance the view at all. It's a strong composition as is - the eye has no problem finding the main character here, but a vignette might be of some benefit. For example - as the ground is slightly blurry in the close foreground, this would be a prime area to de-emphasize.

Interesting effect. I think it might benefit with most of the foreground road cropped away. I like the pastel blue sky and clouds.

Ronald,
You were lucky it was not an Elephant or worse still a herd.
I agree with Lon's suggestion for cropping some from the bottom.
