Hello, I'm from ProjectComment as part of the project tag; my tag word was "bed", and well this lioness looks like it's reclining on bed so it's close enough, right?

Well, since this is a photograph, I'll start with the most obvious: the composition.
Horizontally it's ok, as it follows the rule of thirds - head of the lioness grazes the first third, then the bottom of the tower sits on the lower third, which makes this look pleasantly balanced.
However, vertically it could be better, as it's a bit centered which makes the image not look as interesting as it could be. You could either crop it closer so there's not as much background visible, or have taken the photo from more far away, making the edge of the lioness and tower sit on the rightmost third.

Another suggestion would be to add visual interest via the lighting, however that would mean being careful at what hour you take the photograph, as there's no way to manipulate lighting conditions with wildlife photography. Going at sunset or at sunrise instead of at noon or early afternoon creates more interesting highlights and shadows. I also think the photo is a tid bit overexposed, but it's understandable since wildlife photography is very much a thing of the moment and you can't sit around and twiddle with the camera settings or else you'll miss the shot.

I do love the moment you captured though, she looks very regal and at peace. What a beauty!

Oh! And your tag word is "happy"
