Nice job bringing the focus to the face, it creates an entirely new photo. I agree with with Jason says below, some of the masking looks a bit unnatural.

Great shot and processing! I love the slight tilt of the head and the great tones in the face. I would have liked the body to remain "connected" instead of black all around it because it looks odd to me..it needs its body for a base!

The details in the fur are wonderful. Love the colors. And the eyes are so dramatic! This held together well for that close of a crop.

I like the melancholic look of the weight of kingship - he says, anthropomorphising over the red line...
Lovely portrait.
