I would have liked to clone out the two spots on the inner thigh and maybe done some selective adjustments, but not in basic editing.
I was looking for something for the "Wildlife in a natural environment", but thought even the Wild Animal Park being wide open wasn't really natural.

This is lovely, you've caught her at such a cute moment and the light is great.

It's a real shame the light isn't dappled over his face / lower eye as this could have been a cracking shot. As it is it doesn't hold my attention long enough as I want to focus on the lower eye but there is nothing there to look at but shadow. Looks a little over saturated as well.
