Greetings from the critique club.
What I like about this image is its strong colors. I particularly like the right side of the shot where the black, green and red meet, that is beautiful negative space and shape. What I think your shot could benefit from, maybe be a more interesting compositiion, perhaps cropping the left a little and then doing a horizontal flip of the image. Do you use a tripod when you shoot to help improve the sharpness of the image? Or you can increase shutter speed. I also would have left out the yellow border as I find it distracting.
I hope that helps a little. Keep shooting.
(I have been to kenya 2x and zambia once, I hope to make it to your country one day : ))

This is a good idea. I think a bit of work o the colour balance and contrast would have given it more 'punch'.

The set-up and composition is very nice, and the choice of DOF is perfect. The yellow cast is way too heavy however, WB definately needs adjustment.

I like the use of DOF to separate the background from the foreground but the focus seems a little off. The image overall is a little dark so maybe it was just too long a shutter speed that caused the image to be soft. There also seems to be a yellow/orange cast to the image. Using the eyedroppers in levels could help correct the white balance.
