A handsome fellow!
I'd include more of the surroundings, darken background a bit, get a little help from Topaz Detail and Nik Color Efex, clone a bit here and there:

This happens so often when shooting with a long lens. I cannot tell you how many times this has happened to me. The 300mm has a very shallow depth of field and as a result the grass and brush in front is out of focus and blurry. It totally ruins a beautiful shot. I would have pushed the D800 ASA way up and closed that lens down as far as possible, fired off a couple, opened it up a little and fired off a couple more, and so on. A

This is what I would do to hang it on my wall if I had taken the picture . PS CC is what I used and lots of yrs of using it . Hope this is to your satisfaction . I have a few painted prints with the papers I have hanging on my walls . All of them are rectangular shape and are in the area of 18/19 inches by 26 inches and have wild life in them . So I do love pictures like this .Thanks for letting me play with it . You have a very nice scene here . You could always lighten or darken according to your monitor .Tommy

Thank you. I like your adjustments. This is the kind of variation I was hoping for.
I took this in Zion National Park a few weeks back. It is a desert Bighorn. I didn't bring my wildlife lens because who'd a thunk of wildlife in Zion? You go for the Canyon with your wide angle. But I did have my 28-300 so gave some of these a go.

That helps further reduce the clutter. Thanks for another option.

I primarily use LR for my post processing with an occassional migration over to PS if I need to do something LR can't handle or do well. In this case I started with some basic exposure adjustments to highlights, shadows, clarity, sharpening with mask, white and black sliders, then added a combination of graduated filters top and bottom to darken, radials and brushes to dodge and burn. I also did a bit of cropping from the right side and bottom maintaining the original lw ratios.. This is a really nice composition and scene. The major problem was over exposure (back lighting is easy to trick us.. happens to me a lot too). Thanks for the opportunity to take a crack at editing it! Always looking for opportunities to practice and improve at it! ... and always glad to share and answer any questions!

Nice tones. Thanks.
Yes, the harsh backlight was tough. Although I most often matrix meter I sometimes spot in such cases. I'd have to check the exif to see what I did here.
