Should be no problem. not sure of your editing skills but Clarity is where I’d go 1st and some vibrancy (both Lightroom sliders). I’d also explore a touch of pseduo-HDR with products like Nik or OnSoft
The challenge is to not make the reeds pop more than the lion so perhaps also targeting lion’s yellow and brown to add saturation.
