On my monitor this looks fine to me. I imagine this one to be the most difficult of all your zoo shots and I think you have got a good result. To achieve this result and manage not to have little or no burnt out whites etc deserves much credit. I can see the skin texture very well also. The background has been blurred nicely and the old chap stands out very well for me.

I have a total lack of respect for anything connected with society, except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper, and the old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer. Brendan Behan
Thanks very much for the finely detailed comments. I really appreciate the feedback. This was a bit more difficult if not for the exposier elements, just getting the image. The animal was not very cooperative so I had to snap as the moment allowed. While I understand a previous comment regarding the shadow, and perhaps this is a significant error when capturing images of animals, I thought the shadow provided a bit of definition. But, I do understand and will incorpate that suggestion in future shoots.
