Hi Charlene, lovely Leopard, nice eye contact and I do like the overall composition. With the kit/set up you also have achieved very good detail & clarity too and the flash has provided a nice bit of fill-in, looks well balanced
Without rehashing the above points, I do feel overall it appears a tad dark, that may also be down to the more darker blacks, personally I might try to open things up a little in the blacks, whites exp and just tweak the WB to a fraction warmer look. However, this is only my personal thoughts, you were there, so you know the conditions. If you can add anything more in the intro regarding the shot it's always helpful and feedback is easier too, in addition to cropping, any cloning, shooting conditions etc. Otherwise we tend to 'second guess'. If there is anything specific to the posting you would like help on, please add that into the intro.
Hope to see more from you, a great opening shot and contributions to others threads is ALWAYS appreciated.
TFS

PS If you do post a Rhino, please ensure no GPS is embedded in the Exif data and also please do not mention the actual location for obvious reasons, thanks.
Of all the replys, this is imv clearly the best processing of this shot. Regarding the shot, it is fantastic, only to be bettered by direct eye contact. The best advice on presenting the shot is from Steve. Rachel's view is far too cold. Stick them in PS and show side by side and you'll easily see the difference.
