Strikes me as a little over-something'd. Not sure what the treatment is, but I think it was taken just a little too far for my own tastes. This strikes me as something that is almost a great shot. Sorry.
The eyes almost get lost between the spots! Lovely image. I am not sure but it is as if it is a wee bit over exposed and distracts a little but still worthy of a high score. Magnificent animal though.
This is a little too over sharpened / overprocessed for my liking. The initial capture is nice but I think you've actually taken a lot away from it with the PP.
Ouch! Way too much sharpening and contrast for my taste. If the pic was too soft and there was no other option then sharpening it this much, try converting to B&W. Then the higher edge contrast is less a problem. Otherwise: If you used unsharp mask, or something like that, you could try experimenting with lower values for radius. This makes the sharpening more subtle.
