Columbus Zoo 2007 020

Hi everyone,
I took this shot at the Columbus Zoo, in Ohio last summer. I like the way the light tan color seems to mirror this guy's mood. The chin area is cut off by a fold in the enclosure floor, but at the distance I was shooting from, I couldn't get above it. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could improve this shot? Thanks.

The tan looks interesting to me, but it has somehow made the shot very flat. A little more light and shade would have probably given the shot a greater depth in my opinion. Good shot though.
